    Default Tell me how bad this is

    Villain is basically unknown but has a pretty good winrate.

    For soem reason I decided to turn this into a bluff on the turn. I am aware I am repping a tiny range, largely a3, 77.

    I guess this could be ok if villain can fodl a good J whioch is unlikely.

    So berate it plz.

    Yeah I almost always wait for fish to sit with me but sometimes it takes for ever and I try to feel out a winning player to see if its worth it. Some winning players are really bad too.

    I think flatting here preflop is fine. Turn I usually check or fold depending on villain, I chose to bluff here. But I am not defending the decision as I know its pretty bad.

    flatting is fine and my standard, then 3betting, then folding (dunno why I'd ever fold this hand PF though).

    I'd rather check-call than bet the river, since as others said, he's not folding a J but he might make a dumb bluff with hearts.

    I think it's good to play against people who are better than you maybe 1/10 sessions. If you're playing your A game that's how you get better.

    Folding preflop is superbad.

    Haha Bluffing I think you dont had to call i the beginning 78 suited isnt so good as people thinks. it isnt very strong. If you decice to call it you come in different positions like this one. But when you call it and he raises you had to fold with a bad pair. I think he had a high pocket.But i got to see you had a nice way out to bluf him out that was nice but a very risky situation. it had could badder
