Good or bad semi bluff?

    Default Good or bad semi bluff?

    No reads on this guy other than he made a move with AK on a 873 flop.
    My thoughts here are that he cannot call without a set+ maybe 2 pair, and there are a lot of chips in the pot and i have lots of FE.

    Why can't he call with an overpair or even JQ-JA??

    The play is fine, the rationale is not.

    Since you don't have a read on the guy, there is no way you can assume he is folding any hand less than 2pair here. Even so, you'll get a fold a fair amount of the time here, and if called, you have suckout protection.

    yeah, I agree with char, play is fine but you get called by AJ+ always other Js sometimes - he has a big price and there are so many draws you could have.

    If you get it allin I just like to do it on the flop, because you have a ton more equity.
