Very Interesting Spot w/ Bluff (probably best hand)

[TylerT]

Villain is 36/14 w/ a flop agression of 4.00. I think his range to be AK, KJ, or the flush draw because of his calling my c/r on the drawy flop. I think I have the best hand on the flop, simply because if he were ahead I think he would have 3 bet me.

Now I have 7.40 in my stack, with the pot at 4.90. How do you think I should have continued with the bluff, keeping in mind that I'm 70%-80% sure I have the best hand?? I think I messed up on the turn.

Now, I'm still moderately sure he just has Ace King high or some other missed draw. I only left myself with 3.40 in my stack? How should I proceed from here?

[Micro Donk]

if youre so sure that A high and K high, and flush draw is a good part of his range, c/c is the obvious answer

[Bren]

Do you really think KQ &amp; QJ 3 bet you here?
Seems like you're looking for an excuse to keep firing..

[vixticator]

You can't bluff with the best hand. It's called value bet. And you have none, c/c or c/f.

So how does he not have a Q or a T here? And why are you bloating the pot when you're trying to show down a super marginal holding? I dont get this hand.

[iheartponeez]

Why AK and not AQ?

[corsakh]

I am convinced villain has AK.

Not a big fan of the flop check raise on this board. Really only repping one made hand and villain is fairly likely to have a draw himself and call or put you on a draw and peel light.

edit: ugh, just saw turn play. This is bad. Check raise bluffing the flop here is just a one time stab. Continuing on the turn is really bad. There's no reason to put villain squarely on a draw here when he can hvae so many other made hands. That turn is a complete brick and any hand that he thinks is good on the flop he is still going to like on the turn.

[Unknown Soldier]

not a huge fan of the flop at these stakes, but could be good

turn is just plain bad. He can have way more then AK here.

[Berky]

I really hate hate hate semi bluffing with underpairs on such a draw heavy board where AKcc or even just AK is part of his range, it's just so -ev in the long run.
