2 1-2 hands vs bluffman
I think bluff prolly thinks i am kinda sucky and a huge showdown monkey. this is because i defantly was in the past when we have played together and while i am getting better about both factors they still hold true to some extent.

Re: 2 1-2 hands vs bluffman
I fold the 1st and call the 2nd
but honestly, what is your range when you check that turn? Do you check behind and call rivers a lot? vs. me that has to be a value bet almost always because i am very showdown bound. If your check usually says you're quitting on a hand then you are fine with this call IMO. 2nd on, when 2 hearts pop up i decide i'm showing down. Since he is pf-raiser the river is essentially a blank, besides AhXh hands. |

Re: 2 1-2 hands vs bluffman
I definitely call the first.
The second I'd fold the river. What do we beat? K9? |

Re: 2 1-2 hands vs bluffman
i actually don't think you are sucky at all. in fact, i don't have any opinion on your play. i don't think we've played enough together for me to make any sort of assessment.
about the hands, im kinda curious what i had in the first hand. and i think i'm probably winning in hand 2. probably a Q or something. |

Re: 2 1-2 hands vs bluffman
If your image is that of a showdown monkey, Bluffman wouldn't expect you to fold either hand. This makes both 1 and 2 a fold, as he's not betting anything you beat.
Given Bluffman has indicated he does not think of you that way, I think both are close decisions, Cheers, Mahogany17 |

Re: 2 1-2 hands vs bluffman
I think you should bet the turn in hand 1 for value. I think when I'm playing mediocre/bad I get ace high and figure out how I can get to showdown with it and wind up giving free cards on the turn more often than getting them. His hand in hand one looks a lot like two random overcards that peeled the flop so unless he's bluffing a huge amount of the time on the river when you check through the turn giving the card there might hurt you. There is also a lot of metagame benefit to continuing to pound on people who want free cards when you only have a weak made hand yourself. Also you sometimes have to deal with tough turn checkraise spots but it might be more +EV to induce bluff raises and still showdown ace high if that makes sense.

DD -
I think a turn bet in hand 1 is really player dependant. If he's getting c/r'd by any pair/draw then I don't really like it. I was getting pwnd by hands like 89/67 for like a whole week until i realized i was playing like [censored]. With no read though, yeah bet the turn, because if i don't have anything on them they probably have nothing on me. |

Re: 2 1-2 hands vs bluffman
What pair doesn't checkraise this awesomely dry flop? I'd be pretty happy to get CRed on this turn and just try and fade a bunch of river cards.
