    Default Bad/Good? Semi bluffing, sort of...

    I only saw BB in one hand before this - he had AQs, limped UTG, and made made some very loose calls with overs/gutshot and then tried to bluff on the river. Not sure how much that means for this hand though. I have a slag image, maybe 30/20 and cbetting pretty often.

    This is not really a standard line for me. What do you think of the flop 3bet and turn push?

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $78.50
    Button: $100.70
    hero: $129.90
    BB: $118.10

    Pre-flop: (4 players) hero is SB with K A
    2 folds, hero raises to $3, BB calls.

    Flop: 4 9 7 ($6, 2 players)
    hero bets $5, BB raises to $10, hero raises to $35, BB calls.

    Turn: K ($76, 2 players)
    hero bets $80, BB calls all-in $79.6.
    Uncalled bets: $0.4 returned to hero.

    River: K ($235.2, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $235.2)

    Final pot: $235.2

    i play flop same.

    after he calls flop three bet I assume he has something better than overpair and would slow down on turn. Plus if he has something like JcTc you want him to make the flush.

    So would you check/fold the turn if he pushes? What if he bets 1/2 pot?

    I assume the river is an easy value bet if he checks behind...

    I would call turn push - he pushes a lot more hands than he calls a push with - namely a draw, which you want to call, and two pair, which you have about the right price to chase, unless he has K9/K7 or something.

    River - hmmm. He will call with FH, will (should) fold with two pair or draw or even the overpair we don't think he has. Especially since we saw him bluff busted draw once I would be tempted to let him do it again.

    That makes sense. I kinda decided when I 3bet I was pushing the turn no matter what...probably not the best thing to do though after I hit one of my outs.

    thanks...I wasn't sure about thall this, and I've been doing it more lately, so glad to see nobody says it was dumb.

    and results - fish called all that with TT

    I guess against this type, what I do on the turn didn't matter as much, maybe it matters more against a good lag though.
