Semi-Bluff on a Dry Board: $3/$6
Villain is mostly unknown, but has taggish stats (mostly datamined). He's been fairly aggressive post flop, and I've seen him raise donk bets in the past. This is the first time I have ever donked into him, or anyone at this table for that matter. From his stats, he appears to be a decent winner.
I am most likely unknown to him. I doubled up by playing AA hard on a low flop, and stacking UTGs QQ. I have been fairly quiet, otherwise. He has been picking up a fair amount of small pots without showdown.

Re: Semi-Bluff on a Dry Board: $3/$6
you aren't really folding any made hands,
for legitimate hands J7s (2), 33(3) and 77(3) which I think given stack sizes you would just c/r bet bet with. Given that you have been pretty tight I think he is less likely to try and raise this flop against you as a bluff especially as it's the first time you have done it. I think villain will almost always call here and leave you in a terrible spot on the turn without an 8 rolling out or perhaps the Q or K of clubs. |

Maybe I should incorporate donking into my play but I usually c/r my gutter in situations like this. You think donking is better?

Also, in case I wasn't clear, I've only been at the table for like 3 orbits. Haven't done anything noteworthy, yet, aside from the AA hand, which was more or less standard.

[/ QUOTE ] given your depth I think that a turn bet is strong against some people if they just call the turn, especially since the bet/3-bet alone looks pretty weak. Also when a club comes you have a pretty strong hand. To be honest I think checking the turn is best because we will often get a free card. |
