Re: 1/2 KQo (semi) bluff
Against this guy I think I fold pf. His range is pretty narrow for an UTG raise. As played, I think I would've played it more vanilla and just called turn and folded river. I don't know if the small size of the pot justifies your line or not. What I mean is, maybe a bigger pot would justify taking this line, Of course if the pot's bigger, he's less inclined to fold.

Re: 1/2 KQo (semi) bluff
For a loose player, he does not have a big raising range which should be considered preflop. As others stated, just calling may be the worst of your 3 options. You could fold based off his tight raising range or 3bet to attempt to force the blinds out to build some overlay.
Postflop, I would tend to raise the flop over flat calling. His range is narrow and only a few of his holdings hit that flop. With his lower end showdown percentage raising the flop and betting the turn will cause him to fold a lot of his ace high cards. |

Re: 1/2 KQo (semi) bluff
When you 3-bet pf (which I would do) it sets the whole hand up differently. If you keep the initive you can continuation bet the flop and the turn. If you get c/r you have a better idea where you stand and you can peel and fold ui. Just calling a raise pf is rarely a good idea imo. Although I have found alot of TAGS will do it with small pocket pairs and make a move if the board comes low, that's a topic for another thread though. Don't cold call.
I would be interested in this guys stealing %. This is usually what would make the difference for whether I 3 bet or fold. If his stealing % is 30-40 it's clear he understands it's importance. If it's more like 10-20 then I think this is a legitimate raise and I don't mind mucking. |
