Two semibluffs against some tags

[aislephive]

Villain is "bluffygambler," an ok reg I have at about 19/15. I've played him before at $200nl, and we probably don't have much history.

The reg in this hand is Lucaz333, seems like a mediocre tag who is a little weak tight perhaps. I 3bet him once before but no real history that I can remember. My image is solid.

I like 2 and think 1 bad tbh. Though it can't be THAT bad since he can't have that many real hands.

[DrMagic]

Don't like 1, his line is pretty strong, I think he rarely folds here.
Number 2 is ok except i dont think you need to raise so much on the turn

[stackingboxes]

I don't like hand 1, they way the action went, it doesn't look like he's folding. I don't think he does this with AQ or KQ..thats just werid. plus its multiway..which makes that raise even more scary. I donno, pm results?

hand 2 has a higher probably of success, however I don't think he is ever just calling that raise on the turn..I don't think at least...so u might have to call an all in. Didn't do the math, but do u have the odds to call?

I'm torn on hand 1 because i think people will usually call with their sets in this spot. But also your drawy is very hidden so calling is obviously +EV. Usually i'll just follow what i know is +EV.

Hand 2 just raise the flop

hand 1, he is not folding.

hand 2, looks like you have AJ here. hes not folding qq-aa, and probably not aj.
works sometimes.

[SEABEAST]

i think they're both bad on paper but i make each play pretty often when i get that feeling they will fold

Yeah I dunno, in hand 2 I wanted to raise an amount that committed me to calling a shove. I was pretty sure this is around the raise size that would do just that. I'm not sure if there is any difference in EV between raising an amount that committs me to calling a shove or raising with my straight draw and then folding to a shove because I didn't price myself in, but I just don't ever want to raise/fold my draw with these stack sizes, for metagame I guess, or because I love to gamble.

Yea I'm in the Hand 2&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;& gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Hand 1 camp. I think he has a set in hand 1 and I think you can make him fold in hand 2, and wtf?! at whoever said your hand looks like AJ in hand 2.
