Mezmerize tries some goofy bet size, my move?

    Default Mezmerize tries some goofy bet size, my move?

    I mean, im pretty sure he is going for value here and calling a c/r. I'm just wondering if you think this could be like QQ or KK or w/e is there enough value to c/r?

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    since u called from the sb, he's probably not putting you on a jack, so I'd probably jam to rep the bluff, or make it a bit smaller if u have history such that you think a smaller raise would be better. Then again, he could just have 55/66 and be trying to max value your entire range if he's as good as I've been told.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    I think this is 99+ a lot looking for some value out of worse pps. Looks like he bets this amount to induce a bluffraise. Your hand is very underrepped so I like a shove imo

    i always lead the turn when have KQ or a7 or 89 or spades so maybe a good spot to lead with Jx too!

    Damn normally I'm pretty keen on balance but i missed that. I'd def play those close to the same as well.

    isn't c/c and leading river when the turn checks through generally better than c/c lead?

    i'd think taht would at least be easier to achieve balance at

    well i understand that with checking turn you open yourself up to being barreled and you don't have as much threat as when you lead. It's just I rarely have enough of a handle on my opponent's tendencies to know how he'll react to a c/c lead, so therefore its something i'd only feel comfortable doing with air or a big hand.

    To do it with a flush draw seems bad just because it puts us in a position to be outplayed by air if villain so desires. The stacks usually aren't right nor is the equity high enough for us to just autob3b a draw.

    In my experience this play has only worked well for me when the turncard is a significant change to the texture (like in this hand), but its not a play I'd "plan" on making on a blank when i c/c flop.

    ugh i just realized that maybe you meant you lead all those hands on THIS turn, and that you don't c/c flop with the intention of leading a blank turn.

    care to clear that up, ty

    i was talking about THIS turn.

    "It's just I rarely have enough of a handle on my opponent's tendencies to know how he'll react to a c/c lead"
    since people dont do it much, most avg tags dont have established tendencies (they are usually just confused when they see it) so its a good thing to mix in to mess with opponents. if ill remember ill try to post all the hands i do it when i play a sesh tomorrow

    even with the fish in the to act after? no way it costs "alot of money." if its a mistake at all its a very small one provided he plays decent postflop

    true with fish its a small mistake and its fine if fish plays like shit or regular is weaker/looser than mezz, i was kinda saying in general
