    Default 5/10 bluffs on dry board

    hand 1
    villian is on a couple of my tables and on the others i had raised his blind and won the pot with a cbet at least once. i figured if he had a set he would play it alot slower.

    hand 2
    this guy is on alot of my tables and has been reraising me frequently. his flop bet doesn't look like an overpair, because usually people will bet less on this type of board with AA/kk.

    hand 1: ok, but what are you representing? would you really play a strong hand like this on this board? he may fold if he has nothing, he may fold if he has something, but this seems like it could be pretty exploitable if you only play your bluffs like this.

    hand 2: I dont like doing stuff like this because I think it's weak, do you play TT like this? it looks like what you're doing is trying to get a showdown with a middle pair or maybe QQ/JJ, and i wouldnt be surprised if villian shoved in your face , either with AA kk , or even AK.

    I think you're train of thought has to go beyond what you think HE has - like ender mentioned what are you trying to represent here. If you're gonna take a shot at Hand1 - I'd suggest floating the river and betting or c/r the turn, I don't think anyone would 3bet a set on a board like that.

    Hand2 is played weird, If I'm villain here I probably have you on JJ/QQ question is what reads to you have on villain here. If I'm in his spot holding QQ-KK-AA-AK I'm shoving this.
