Cool post.

Hand 1: I really think he has AQ (maybe AK) or better and you are getting called. You raised UTG and he's been giving you respect, I think he's pitching most weaker aces from OOP.

Hand 2: He 3-bets a lot and ya'll are deep but I just give this one up preflop. Boring I know. I'd probably just check the river but I think if I bet I'd bet a lot more.

Hand 3: I like this one.

Hand 1 - I think you got called. Board is drawless - yeah, the 4 got there, but not much else is out there. How often would you say you three-barrel? If not often, maybe you forced a fold of AQ.

Hand 2 - how is that a good card for you to bet? Your hand has some showdown value - are you trying to fold out better nines and any tens? It's a pretty thin bluff. I can't imagine you're folding out an overpair for that little - I dunno how much metagame you have w/ Booosted or if you intentionally sized your bet to look like an overpair should pay it off - but booosted's range here is enormous, no? He's calling w/ any J, any 8, any KQ.

Hand 3 worked.

I like the first two. Third one is meh. Villain seems more like a fish than a TAG f/ his bet size.

i duno how much party you play lately, but lolo started programming his bets like that with AHK and i think there are a couple of copycats out there. so i wouldn't put too much stock in the bet size amt.

I'm not talking abt the pennies but the fact that he bets 1/3 pot into 2 players on the flop.

Default Re: Which Bluff(s) Worked?

interesting concept for a post. obviously, these are all highly situation dependent. dissecting the hands in a vacuum, here are some thoughts:

your story in hand 1 doesn't add up to a big hand. and any hand with showdown value against villain's range would likely be checked behind on the river. so your firing on the river smells a lot like a bluff, unless you are prone to super thin value bets.

in hand 2, i think you have the potential to push villain off a better hand, but i think your bet size seems a little to small. i would put in about 2400-2500 at least, and villain has a hard time calling this without a jack or better. against a villain is who is capable of over analyzing the situation, your small bet could work.

on hand 3 river is a good scare card, so there is a chance this one can work against most hands in villain's range except tt. but it only costs him 1250 to call, so it's a toss up.
