    Default Good bluff with a good read

    Marcuss had been picking on mdrow kinda for the last few orbits after he was sucked out on in a big pot. Mdrow was kinda a fish, bet weak a lot and would fold to reraises, etc...I put Marcuss on a decent hand (Ax or so) but nothing spectacular, as he just liked to play a lot of hands with Mdrow since he was in position and could outplay him. Marcuss is a solid player and i knew he was capable of this laydown based on his chat with another player at his table that told me he knew what he was doing. My image at the table was tight (>20% of flops). Marcuss was LAG.

    mdrow: calls $2.50
    *** TURN *** [3h Jc 4h] [Ac]<----4 more outs for a strait. Figured Mdrow either caught this with a weak kicker (hopefully not a 3 or 4) or had an under pair 77-QQ

    Marccus85: raises $4 to $5.50<----he smells the weak fish too, what are his holdings? I think A4-AT is reasonable, or a total bluff

    mdrow: folds
    Marccus85: calls $6.50<----Tells me he doesn't have two pair or better
    *** RIVER *** [3h Jc 4h Ac] [4d]

    HitMePat: bets $14.50<-------What i considered to be a good size for a value bet for a hand like AJ, JJ, 33, somethin like that...i think i played the hand as if those were my holdings. Especially with my turn raise.

    Nice play. He really can't call that raise. He was hoping to pair his Q or K when he called the turn.
