Wanted to Induce a Bluff But...

[Galapogos]

I obviously checked the turn hoping to induce a bluff but didn't expect this. Villian was a 70/10 type player. I wasn't worried about the club draw, he floated the flop with anything everytime he was in the pot.

Anyone worried he has a boat? Fish are always overbetting the river it seems when they have the goods. But at the same time he could think any K is the goods.

i fold because he played it exactly like 87. i feel like more than 50% of the time he has 87 or a boat.

Sorry, I messed up in my manual conversion. It was a T
Doing too many things at once here.

Edited.

I call, he flips over KT and I spew. Nah seriously, I might find a fold here.

How often will a player bluff that much into such a small pot?

My guess: not often enough for us to call.

Hope it worked out for you this time, though.

I must really suck at folding because I can't here.

[gabe]

yea i dont fold here, that was the point of the turn check

[IowaSkinsFan]

oh if the turn was a Td I never fold here.

How dumb does a guy have to be to buy a $20 pot for $100 though? I'm not sure if this is trips with a worse kicker or complete bluff vs a boat often enough to be a profitable call. Is it?
