    Default Working on my bluffs

    Opponent is loose over small sample size. Sees roughly 1/3rd of flops. I do not have any info on his aggression.
    I put opponent on a TPmehK or a J. I am experimenting on pushing nut hands and pushing as bluffs to set things up. Does this look good?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($9.75)
    MP ($11.70)
    CO ($2)
    Button ($6.05)
    SB ($6.70)
    Hero ($15.50)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, A. CO posts a blind of $0.10.
    1 fold, MP calls $0.10, CO (poster) checks, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero raises to $0.5, MP calls $0.40, CO folds, SB folds.

    Flop: ($1.20) Q, 7, J (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.9, MP calls $0.90.

    Turn: ($3) 4 (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP bets $1.2, Hero calls $1.20.

    River: ($5.40) K (2 players)
    Hero bets $12.9 (All-In)

    I really don't like this. A flush never folds here, everything else apart from maybe a set does.. Thing is, you could achieve that with a $5 bet rather than a poosh. Also, that Kc is an horrible card to push on, it gives KQ and KJ top 2, and he may be the type of 10nl idiot who can't put that down.

    i agree with ash, although think with more reads a $5 river bet or possibly c/r (prob not, but i mean if he would bet-fold 2pr) is a decent bluff.

    I don't make overbet bluffs at this level, nor do i try to bluff much at all. People are calling you if you're a rock or a laggtard, it's just not that profitable to throw that many bluffs in there

    Someone find a better card to bluff.

    I just don't like the bet size.

    You all are right, the bet size is poor. I am risking too much to win too little. I just didn't think villain was capable of folding TP for $5. That should have been my first clue. Bluffing at these levels, may very well be stupid.
    I'll let more people chime in before releasing the results.

    Horrible card to bluff.

    At these levels you should probably bluff only in spots that are very very good. This isn't one of them.

    RESULTS:
    Villain called quickly after he hit 2 pair on river with KJ.


    Assume we are at 100NL: Say a 2 hits, should I have played for showdown? Or do you try to push him off a queen here?

    No need to ever bluff at 10Nl unless they're a complete rock.
    Just bet the hands where you think you're ahead for value,
    only a few small semi-bluffs where no one seems interested on flop or turn where you have a few outs.
    But not moves like this, esp. given his range.
