Default Re: How often is this a bluff?

it appears to me like he is hardly ever bluffing here, but he probably has TT-KK and is scared of the ace.

i think it's up to you what you do.

i'd say if you think he will fold an underpair here, then you should turn your hand into a 2 out semibluff (lol).

otherwise fold

calling the turn is pretty bad imo. he has us beat 90%+ of the time, and isn't folding to a river bet with the great pot odds. you will both check down the river.

you have a chance to snatch the pot now he has told you he is pretty scared, and hopefully he isn't being sneaky with a set, or floated OOP w AK or AQ.

you lose your chance to win the pot if you call. so i say it is a clear raise or fold situation on the turn

Alobar -

I think calling preflop is best against this villain, but given he's in the CO a 3bet isn't really bad or anything. I'd still prefer a call, but it's not a HUGE deal imo.

Once he flat calls the 3bet OOP, I really don't think you're looking at a pair lower than yours very often at all. In your discussion you seem to feel 99- is in his range, and in my experience those hands just aren't in his range - and are DEFINITELY not in his range after he c/c's the flop.

With the 3bet preflop, I think checking back this flop isn't terrible since I think a lot of his range has you beat, and I don't think he's going to get porky with AK here. If I did cbet the flop, I'd be shutting down for sure if I got any action.

With the weird turn bet, I think he's on JJ-KK here A LOT and he *might* be looking to bet/fold here. Still, I'd need a very solid read that he would make a weak fold with JJ-KK to consider anything besides folding.

For everybody who likes shoving: note that after our call the pot has $220 and hero only has $90 behind. That shove is less than a half-pot bet; villain may be scared, but his turn bet is a suicide pact. He's accidentally committed himself to this pot and stumbled into the best defense against our hand.

We've got no folding equity left -- shoving seems pretty bad to me.

I shove the turn and get called by KK.

So I would say a turn fold is in order.
