NL200 Stars - bluff and semibluff

[Kurtiii]

Raiser was a TAG caller very loose (55 vpip) and aggresive postflop. I have been playing mostly TAG, about 24/15 at this table and tried to squeeze here.
After the Flop i was pretty sure that villian would jump on any weakness, so i made a 1/2 pot bet planing to 3bet allin with a lot of outs if i get called by anything but a set. Spew or good play ?

Ive been raising villian alot preflop and he started to play back at me, He was kinda fishy laying down to serious aggresion and mostly calling or betting weak. Was that river play hopeless after he called the turn ? Or was the turn allready hopeless ?

Hand 1 I don't sqeeze K4ss but if you like to, I'd make it closer to $30 and even with your weak bet read, I'd still bet ~$40 on flop. And yeah, I like getting it all in on flop too.

Hand 2 I think I'd like a better read, but in any event, your aggression doesn't look that serious. I think I find a fold somewhere in there.

First hand looks pretty good. Normally I don't squeeze in 1/2 NL games bcuz there is simply not as much fold equity as higher levels. You are more likely to get called and if they catch top pair or a big draw against you they will play it to the end.

In the Second hand, I'm not sure why you just called the flop, I think if you wanted to make a move on the hand you should've just raised the flop to 40 dollars.
As played, give up on the river.

yea im definately trying to reduce the amount of "moves" in big pots, because of what you just said "if they catch top pair or a big draw against you they will play it to the end"

thanks for the advice on hand 2, reviewing it i think the move on the turn is still "ok" since the board is very scary, would be better on the flop .. and the river was hopeless
I was trying to represent a QT,KQ type of hand wich either took a longshot oon the flop by calling. Or was trapping .. he didn´t listen to my story tho [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

just checking some bluffs in pt atm, when i finaly moved up from 100$NL, where bluffing is pretty much useless, i was hoping one could play some poker at 200$NL.

Hand one is standard, hand two is spewing.

Hand 1: Not a good spot to squeeze with TAG pfr and donk caller. Much better situation is LAG pfr and TAG caller. If PFR is TAG with pfr of say 13% and TAG caller, better spot. But imo, the scenario in hand is bad. If you're going to do this, make it at least 4x. As played, bet more on flop and get it in is fine for your most likely 14 outs.

Hand 2: Raise more pf, fold either pf or on flop.
