Really interesting hand from Boost's perspective

redgrape is obviously aggro, makes some spewy bluff sometimes, but hasn't got out of line at this table as far as I can tell. Obviously from looking on this fourm I can tell he makes a lot of big bluffs. My hand is pretty face up on the table.

he can't call that.

id call probably

I'd fold, but then tilt and go to war with you.
No seriously though, why are we checking the flop? Lots of cards hit the turn that we don't like, and I don't think we have the balls to CR this holding OOP.

Being OOP against you just has to suck.

I've really surpised he checked the flop too

Yeah you have to bet here boost. idk why you checked.

if i was boost i would not instacall turn, but then for sure call river

His hand is terribly underrepped and obvious... He's letting skinsfan do this.
skinsfan's hand does kind of look like a Q though. Although the river bet looks bluffy since he'd probably value bet a Q.

snap fold

nice bluff if it s a bluff

Why are you putting me on a hand first and a bluff second?

either bluff or

redgrape stayed in with something like QJs(and puts boost on 88-JJ) or had something like A5s and is trying to make this look like a bluff.

dunno why (I put you on a hand), just a feeling

seems like one of those shoves that are supposed to look like bluffs

If you think he has AK/1010 you don't need to bet this much to get him to fold. You know he knows that, so you shove, etc...

edit : granted he has AK/1010 here very rarely. Dunno why I just feel like you have AA at worst here

If you know his chances of him calling any type of bet are the same then your EV increases with the size of your bet.

Sounds obvious after I type it but I think boots is as willing to call this as he would a small value bet.
