    Default 5/10 .. I have a bluffing problem. But how good/bad is it?

    hand 1
    -villain is pretty tagg 19/14/2.84
    -My history with him is that he plays post flop very strong after he raises preflop, and often fires two barrels to take the pot down
    -We haven't gotten out of line much at all today.
    -The most recent hand was him raising AJclubs UTG, I called KQ clubs in position, flop came rag and two clubs.. he bet, I raised, he 3-bet flop and I pushed and we both got it in obviously.
    -On the flop I feel his raising range is all pairs 88+, and overcards AK/AQ/AJ but his raising range might be skewed towards solid made hands since there is another player in the hand still on the flop?

    Hero checks, Button bets $380, Hero raises all-in $1198.27, Button <-- $820 to call


    Hand 2
    -no real reads on villain, he's new to the table and running 22/20 over only like 100 hands
    -he hasn't done anything out of line yet and I haven't noticed him much
    -I screwed up bet sizing on this turn pretty good.. I wanted to leave a bit less than pot size bet left... so I should have bet stronger for sure but I sized the bet so I would still have a lot of fold equity left on river
    -I should have bet like $240ish on turn and $612ish on river.. but aside from that?
    -After this turn call, I figure his range must be Axd's, JT, Tx, JJ

    1. I fold the flop tbh, his better hand raising frequency seems way bigger than his bluffing frequency.

    2. I think this is decent but i'd rather bet like 200 on the turn and 640 or so on river. I'd still rather c/c the flop and if a diamond comes you can really fuck him.

    Yah I agree, a fold would have been much better. But as played, turn is ok... or really bad?

    If I were villain I'd put you on a draw in both hands and call with most of the range I'm repping. In hand 2 he could be on a draw as well but if it's the nfd, then he has a pair now and is probably looking you up.

    Hand 1. I really like the turn c/r a lot.

    Hand 2. I would c/f turn and I'm not very happy about the shove. I don't think it's very bad though.

    well u turn two decent-strong made hands into marginal bluffs- so im not a big fan.

    hand 1- he has a draw or a monster or hes owning ur sould with JJ- if he actually has a 12 out draw u win i guess?

    hand 2- check/call flop just seems so much better- ur little mini c/r just defines ur hand incredibly quickly against most second level thinkers- and 5/10 is a cluster-fuck of good second level thinkers...
