Stupid Bluff

[mikeysong]

Villain is 18/14/1.6

This is one of those moments where I thought, ok, I'm giong to bluff. My image isn't too bad and if I think he's got a pair, I'm going to push him off and represent a hand.

While I don't think the above thinking is bad, as it randomizes the way I play, I think given board texture, it's pretty retarded. I'm basically hoping to push 6-9s and Js. The range is too small, agreed correct? When pushing people off, once I bet the turn like this, I should expect that their range is mainly in the 8s-Qs area and given how Q and T hit, I think the range I'm bluffing at is too narrow.

agree?

I think if the river was a K it would be a good value bet and an ace would be good to bluff at. If a 9 hit...is it worth it to check it down or go target Jacks and Queens and continue to bluff?
