    Default Showdown value into bluffs

    Hand 1
    -This hand is against Alexos
    -We haven't had many hands together on this day, so there was no immediate history, only stuff from the past
    -Alexos probably perceives me as too bluffy at times, but generally with some equity like pushing draws in dumbass spots and stuff
    -He also thinks I call too many flop cont bets and turn bets but probably thinks I fold the river a fair amount
    -I can't imagine him betting AJ on this turn (c/c probably if anything)
    -He probably thinks my range can potentially include hands like KQ and AQ and sometimes even AK but less likely

    Hand 2
    -villain in this hand is mymaximus and is a solid regular
    -he 3-bets a fair amount, especially in position. I realize this call preflop is probably pretty damn brutal, but lets ignore that for the time being! KJ = TT for the purpose of this hand
    -he often checks through flops with hands like AK/AQ on ragish boards and then raises turns when villain leads into him with overs or if he turns draws
    -if he raises draws/bluffs he always continues on later streets
    -I'd expect him to bet the flop or turn with a flush draw a high percentage of the time
    -I realize my line probably doesn't make that much sense for a flush, but neither does his, and I really have no idea what he has here.

    Hand 2 reminds me of that hand where gabe overshoves as a bluff versus an obvious AK tptk on the river in a threebet pot. gabe got called fwiw.

    What can villain have in hand 2 though that he's checking twice?? some weird diamond SCs?
    Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    Even that I think he for sure bets earlier, on flop or at least turn. I really really don't think he shows up with a flush here that often.
