Default Re: A dumb bluff

I think this is fine, button may not call with A hi with sb behind and his whole range is unpaired hands (or heavily weighted to it) 88-JJ Qx KK or AA will always bet the turn here so ur gonna catch him with better unpaired hands that will fold a ton.

If the parlay sb folds as well is worth the 1bb investment into this pot is close but I think once he cks the river hes got air enough too where its worth it.

I call the flop as well fwiw closing the action getting 8:1, with a bdfd its no question. as some one else said we get a free look at the river here pretty often as well for one sb.

"and also catch him not realizing that King high is basically Ace high here on the river and folding it occasionally too.
"

This depends totally on whether or not villains look you up with a King/Jack

Since people don't usually bet with Ax in sweetjazz's spot, a hand like KT here has as much showdown value as a hand like AJ. You lose to weak pairs, etc., and you beat missed draws. So if you're willing to call it's pretty rare that you should be willing to fold KT, but a lot of players don't seem to get that and just call with Ace high and fold J/K high.
