    Default stack alligning question

    In general If villain leaves room in his stack to fold he is less likely to be bluffing than if villain leaves no room to fold?

    Examples: 100bb stacks, for simplicity this is 2 handed.

    A) Hero raises 4bb Villain raises to 13bb, Hero calls

    Flop (26bb) XXX
    Villain bets 15bb, Hero Calls.

    Turn (56bb) X
    Villain bets 45bb (27bb left)

    B) Hero raises 4bb Villain raises to 13bb, Hero calls

    Flop (26bb) XXX
    Villain bets 15bb, Hero Calls.

    Turn (56bb) X
    Villain bets 28bb (44bb left)

    In General Villain in Example A is more likely to be bluffing?

    I think its more villain/ board dependent than anything else. I really dont think there is an "in general" here.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    If villian is in position post flop then yes I would think he is more likely to have a stronger hand in example B than A on an average board.
    (you have checked turn showing possible weakness so a big bet is too likely to get you to fold whereas a smaller bet may keep you in and give you the option of check raising - so if he bets smaller in general I think he's likely to be stronger.)

    If villian is oop post flop then I think he is more likely to have a stronger hand in example A than B
    (the only info he has is that you called the flop so he less likely to think you are weak enough for an oversized bet to work as a bluff and it is more a sign of him really committing himself to the pot & any river)
    Currently thinking of a new quote/signature... Some sort of prayer to the Poker gods for enlightment etc..

    i think this is too general... depends on villain, the board, and ranges.

    Dude lets just say disregarding all other factors what do you think.

    I'd say A, in general i notice a high frequency of the time when people don't leave any room for you to bluff or for another street bet they are bluffing.

    This is what I thought, I just wanted to double check my thinking.
