$100nl - AQ oop hand, JJ blinds hand

Hand 1: Villain is 44/10 or so with AFs similar to 1.0/5.0/5.0. The plan for this hand was to let him walk into it after a small c-bet so that the pot doesn't get too huge.

so in hand 1 what is he giong to be bluffing with? a weaker A? or is he bluffing with air? and if hes going to bluff... why not raise him for value on the river?
hand 2 i guess fold cause its an unknown.. but make a note or something

Standard.


I cannot fathom not re-popping this pre to about 3-3.5x. It narrows our villains range dramatically, allowing us to make better decisions postflop. I'm folding on the flop to the 3bet btw. There are just way more hands that have us beat than vice versa.

Hand 1: He's too retarded for me to want to run that line. I'd just value town 3 streets.
Hand 2: ZEEEEEEEEBBBBBBBBBBBO!

Yeah SB vs BB I'm re-raising there every time and expecting all sorts of crazy action.

Wait...what value do you see in raising a probable bluff?

H1: I usually don't take this line vs a donk, but I don't mind either. More so if you feel he's going with a float-spew a lot.

H2: Bump it preflop.

I like hand 1.
I fold hand 2.
