Poker Sucks

Villian is a regular, name on there is DeStructure, he runs at like 23/17. Has always seemed pretty standard to me, only a few hundred hands, my friend has more vs him and has owned him. I don't have any reason to believe that he's a supbro, but I guess he could be.

Hero calls $536.13 (All-In),

This is painfully standard right? I'm leading turn to get a call from aces or kings to set up a river push where he should be folding everything but a ten, because we should be deep enough for him to let go of big pairs- I've got a ten here much much much more often than a random bluff, especially since earlier in the day we were talking about no one ever folds at 400 nl, and therefore it is never profitable to bluff.

I don't understand why you chose the line you did, turn and river look okay but I don't know how often anyone folds AA, and the flop is ugly.

Why not c/r the flop if you want to try and steal it? If you want to rep a T why not c/r the turn instead of betting and then pushing the river?

Backdoor spade draw, I was leading the turn with any 7 or spade, my hand is very disguised. I like to float and get tricky when I'm deep because I think people are usually (and rightfully so) afraid to play big pots when 200bbs deep.

I think your pre-flop play is -EV if you're going to float OOP on flops like this, I mean c'mon you called because of a backdoor spade draw? This isn't limit

I thought about c/r'ing the turn, but then I thought to myself, I would almost NEVER do that with a ten, that line looks weird with a ten because it looks so strong you let them fold overpairs. Whereas with this turn lead I'll usually have a ten, he'll think 'why is he leading the turn?' and call with his overpair. Then on the river, I'm all in because I want to get paid off with top boat.

Why don't people ever fold? Just wait until I have a hand I'm going to be freakin rich Jesus Christ.

Explain?

If flop and turn play stand, He's got to fold every other time for the bluff to be good right? So next time I'll have a ten, I think this is an easy bluff.
