2/4 vs lukie

[gabe]

so im talking to lukie on AIM and he pisses me off somehow, so i decide im going to sit at all of his tables and stack him a few times. this is the first table i get a seat at. ive raised the first 2 hands (the first from my newbie blind). this is the 3rd hand i was dealt.

ill post my thoughts later

i dont really like check-calling the turn, otherwise seems standard

Been spending too much time in Off topic forums (here and otherwise). Didn't look where it was.

Apologies .

Gabe busto and using this clever ruse to cover his playing 2/4 tables?

even if this was close to true, who cares? leave this stuff out of the hands i want to discuss

[Genitruc]

river bet is fun since on the "Nth" level thinking plane u guys are prob on in HU pots, lukie might think you're hoping for him to bluff-raise

[gabe]

dammit i forgot to take out results, sorry

[ilikeaces86]

Im very confused

[gabe]

i cant win a showdown so i bluff

[Warpe]

Am I right in thinking that if Lukie has a T or a Q in his hand, he's raising the flop?

Nice split pot steal.

edit: J/K will fold too

doubt he raises a Q, but his flop calling range is so wide

i think KJ might call trying to snap off a thin value bet from AA or something, not sure

Yeah, I meant Kx/Jx.

lol what a weird hand. I think the crux of the hand is whether or not lukie folds A high, and how likely is he to bluff-raise your weak 1/3 pot bet. These types of things are very situation and read dependent so hard to say for sure. I'd probably lead 80-100 if I were going to bluff this river...

I don't like c/c turn. You may have the best hand, but it is so marginal and vulnerable that I think betting out or c/f is better here. What was your plan for a blank river? c/c again?

Also, can you explain why you c-bet 1/2 pot here and full pot in the other hand? What types of things influence your decision on how much to c-bet?
