i don't normally call with sc at 100b stacks vs. good players, so i'm not sure if villain knows its in my range. i thought about raising the flop, since it just looks like bs or a flush draw, but i think most villain's of this type just say "whatever" and fold almost every hand on that board, even though the likelyhood of me bluffing is pretty high. do you think i would have been more likely to get action on the flop, or an unknown turn card?

It's just that if a club comes, it ruins our action because you can have 7c8c or whatever. I'd probably raise the flop smallish to like 16-17 and see what he does. If he folds, he folds. He's not folding a queen or clubs here though and there's not too many cards that will make him happy to commit more chips on the turn if we just flat flop.

[DaycareInferno]

i agree with all that, but i think the tradeoff is that i get an extra bet out of a lot more hands on the turn since it just looks like i've got an 88 or whatever.

[thac]

But hoping and praying he's gonna double barrel (and doesn't hit a 2-outer to beat us [albeit a small chance]) doesn't seem like a prudent idea on this board.

[thac]

Also, I think since you flatted the flop, you should flat the turn and continue to rep a draw. It's obv a bigger trade-off but the club's only gonna hit ~25% of the time, and with how underrepped our hand is we can shove and maybe get looked up by JJ-TT because it looks like a missed draw.

[DaycareInferno]

yeah, i thought about that too. if villain has a Q or better, and no club comes on the river, i could make a big bet if checked to there and probably get called a decent ammount of the time.

[thac]

With your line though, you really limit your range. Like, you call on the flop, and all of a sudden you wake up on the turn? You either have like Tc9c, 9c8c or a 5. You're never turning a queen into a bluff (at least from what I've seen of you), so if he can beat a 9, he can try and bluffcatch but you don't have too many hands in your range that he is comfortable calling a shove with a queen.

[DaycareInferno]

i guess i should have mentioned it before, but i was in a bvb hand with villain a few days ago where villain floated and bluff raised turn. even though i would personally never do that without at least some outs, its kinda like how people who cheat on their wives are paranoid and people that lie a lot always think their being conned. he tanked for a long time before folding.

given the way that i normally play, i think i probably should have just raised the flop too. i'm generally very low on fancy.

i like this, but another call isn't bad either
