    Default 200 BB deep huge bluff

    I've been playing villain for about an hour and I'm up a decent amount on him, but he just stacked me 2 hands ago in a standard spot with TPTK vs a combo draw in a 3-bet pot. He's kind of bad and stationy, the type of guy who likes to call preflop with stupid hands and then check-call the flop and the turn with bottom pair, but I'm guessing he'd give the all-in a little more respect. I don't think he's that good of a hand reader, he seems like he cares more about the absolute strength of his hand than how good his hand is against my range.

    I haven't done anything way out of line yet in the match, he's only made one big bluff on a J85 flop with a flush draw, he check-raised the flop with T9o and bet the turn and shoved the river (both blanks) and I called him down with JTo.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (2 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($429.50)
    Hero (SB) ($944.60)



    Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, 2
    Button raises to $6, Hero raises to $22, Button calls $16

    Flop: ($44) 5, J, 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets $28, Button calls $28

    Turn: ($100) A (2 players)
    Hero bets $72, Button calls $72

    River: ($244) 10 (2 players)
    Hero bets $822.60 (All-In)

    It's $300 for him to call.

    1. Is this good or just terrible?
    2. If this is good then which river cards should I NOT be emptying the clip on? I'm check-folding a J river ldo, any others?
    3. Does the fact that he just stacked me make it better or worse?

    Before i assess... what did you think he'd fold when you bet the turn?

    I think he folds some medium pairs and some gutshots that floated the flop. The turn bet obviously isn't profitable in a vacuum, but I did it because I thought it would set up a profitable river bluff. He calls the turn with lots of flush draws and jacks and I was betting that he'd fold them to a river jam unimproved.

    What's his calling range of your 3-bets? Had he been calling a lot of them, or 4-betting a lot and calling some?

    I don't think this is terrible. I don't mind the turn bet too much, as a ton of midpairish type hands will call flop and I'd bet like KJ/QQ/KK on this turn for value.

    Just sucks that AJ is definitely big in his range.
