$6 NLTRN does this bluff work?

chrismystero · #1 08-07-2007, 04:10 PM

this is 3rd hand vs villain. I folded my button first hand, folded my BB to a 3x raise 2nd hand. I do not do this against a bad player but figured it could work against a good, thinking player. Villain is ranked on sharkscope for total profit for low stakes (I consider that a pretty good player). The preflop call is thin for sure, but given that it is made, please provide thoughts on this entire bluff of a hand, given the information provided.

A thought of my own: would a turn shove have been a better approach?

PS: Since villain had pretty solid stats, there's a slight chance he's a 2+2'er. Villain, if you are, your thoughts appreciated as well.

Unless the crowd at PS is very different from the one at FT...

Good luck finding somebody who will fold 22 there in a $6 tourney.

Some random thoughts:

You folded the first 2 hands, and villian is thinking. So he probably thinks you are tight. That means you can't really represent a 5.

I also doubt that a fish would push river after a min. raise on the turn. Such a passive player would probably bet ~200?

Btw, you are screwed if he looks you up on sharkscope.

I'm not sure what you are trying to rep here, this looks pretty spewy though.

Then he will know that you are a thinking player and probably trying to trick him. The player you're trying to represent would have an negative ROI.

i just think it looks totally unnecessary

if he calls the turn min-raise he should pretty much never fold on the river

you are basing such a risky play on reads that you have gathered over 3 hands and assumptions about him.

the 6's should only be about value betting

Fold preflop or on the flop.

This is very bad. He's getting 3-1 (the better somebody is at the 6s the more likely he knows what pot odds are) and probably has some sort of 1-2nd pair or overpair which I highly doubt he is folding.

The only thing that goes into your favor, is for every time I play somebody I "respect" or think I should "respect" and look at a terrible line like this for almost any reasonable hand except like JJ or something, they show up with something dumb like J7s with this kind of line.

But in the 6 dollars your line is so often some sort of elaborate bluff I would call with a good amount of hands if I am villain, so I highly doubt this is a good play.

Also, you don't get to be a sharkscope leader at the lower limits 3-betting suited connectors. Factor in his likely 3-bet range here and his hands are looking pretty scary.
