Default A Couple Bluffs

I've been running about 22/20 at the table which is pretty close to standard for me. Guy on my right is very lag preflop, I've been 3betting pretty light in position but haven't really gotten challenged except for one hand where I 3bet the buttons open from the sb with AJs cbet the flop and turn went check check and I check folded on a blank river (board was 66QT5r).

Villain in this hand is IRunSoGood who I have at 24/19/2.2 with a 17 WTSD%.

********


This hand came a little later. I've been playing pretty much the same, but a little quieter than I was. Villain in this hand is "big work" who I have at 30/25. He's probably getting very suspicious of my squeezes/resteals at this point.

the first is alright but bleh... since he has low w$sd maybe he folds TT+ here but i dunno. good spot to overbet bluff for sure.

second hand sucks unless you think this guy cant think much beyond "big bet, fold" (which is somewaht common so maybe in those circumstances sucks a bit less).

i like the 1st one. you rep your hand well and i dont think he can call you with much here.

the 2nd one kinda sucks. i dont like his line that would fit with folding to a river shove. his small river bet kind of scares me tbh.

hand 1 it's probably better to just bet the turn given your c/r.

hand 2 it's probably better to bet the flop - the turn call is very shaky, but i do think given how you did get to the river, and villains river bet (lol less then turn?) pushing isnt really all that terrible.

If I wanted to run it in #1, I would go the valuebluff line vs. this guy

1/2 pot on turn, shove river

I think both of these are awful. You rep nothing in 1 and almost nothing in 2.
