50nl - meh bluff?

[Micro2Macro]

villain has been active so far this session, has cold 4bet me from the BB already, running like 22/18 or something so I imagine he's a tag regulator of some sort. Lost my DB from my earlier days at 50nl so I can't remember if we have history.

I'm running the usual 18/16 or w/e stealing too much, I've folded to a few 3bets this session already, not sure if he has seen this, but I wasn't about to just fold again because I haz position and 98s (yeah im a donk..i know) and i've already been folding too much. Plus I can flop like a flush draw and shit.

I guess it's hard to give an unknown credit for being able to lay down like JJ or something here though I suppose he could have AK and some random crap often enough to make the laydown. Good news is we have some equity when called :/

I decide to float flop because bluff raising here won't get me any credit (?).

At least my line is balanced

flame on..

[Micro2Macro]

hmm we actually have the best hand on the turn vs all his air

how bout calling?

I think we can assume any air (which was probably bad to 2 barrel w/o shoving river?) is going to give up alot on the river. If he shoves river we can call it off if we improve.

I'm such a dope.

yeah, calling turn is best imo. You just picked up some SD value vs. AK/AQ, etc. And you still have decent equity to draw out if he has you beat atm.

flat, eval river. ez game.

[Micro2Macro]

yeah i dunno what i was thinking trying to get an overpair to fold in a 3bet pot. guess i just like being aggressive for the sake of raising.

[dranger7070]

lol standard

[Parasurama]

If we're going to raise it should be on the flop imo

If we're going to raise it should be on the flop imo

+1

[Micro2Macro]

hmm, I called because I typically peel with most of my continuing range - but do I really need to worry about that here?

i like to raise the flop as well. just to make it uncomfortable to play most overpairs OOP on the turn and hopefully receive a free card. shoving turn doesnt really fold out much we beat imo.
