    Default 25NL - A couple of bluffs

    Hand 1: Villain is 25/13. He has only cbet 50% over the 70 hands I have on him, so I choose to float flop instead of raise. I find it hard to believe he can c/c turn on this dangerous a board with anything better than Tx. Could be like TJs+ (although not sure how many of these he raises pre) and 88/99, maybe something like 78s (although again, not sure he would raise these pre).

    I think I can have good TPGKs/TPTK and 89s, although my river sizing might be a bit big for TPGK.

    Thoughts?

    PreFlop: Dealt to HERO [A K]
    UTG raises to $0.75, CO folds, HERO calls $0.75, 2 folds

    *** FLOP *** 7 T Q (Pot=$1.85)
    UTG bets $1.23, HERO calls $1.23

    *** TURN *** 6 (Pot=$4.31)
    UTG checks, HERO bets $3, UTG calls $3.00

    *** River *** 2 (Pot=$10.31)
    UTG checks, HERO bets $7.50


    Hand 2: I only have 13 hands on Villain, but he seems reggish so far. I don't think half pot flop and turn is ever strong here and I have a good chunk of equity. Is this good? I feel like if I call turn and bet blanks I will get c/c pretty light.

    1. Not such a fan when everything bricks and I think you underestimate the frequency with which such a passive will c/c Qx ott. I think most of the hands you like him to fold otr just fold the turn. Tx might not even fold this river and you have sd value vs some draws.

    2. I like this as long as you bet rivers to fold out KJ QJ JJ Kx etc if you check rivers this is pretty horrible.

    hand 1 - i prefer raising flop, river bluff would be better if you didn't have the ace of spades. Downside is that he has QJs here a bunch of the time, dunno if he can/will fold it or not.
    hand 2 - i don't see what you are repping here. What hands can you have that wouldn't be raising the flop?

    don't like either

    Hand 1 - really don't like this. He has JJ/Qx here a ton, and KJ bricks/FD bricks, you're getting looked up.

    Hand 2 - Raise the flop! you looking for an AAT flop before you start raising?

    1. he should have folded a lot of what your hopin he has on the turn.

    2. i don't completely trust my reads at only 13 hands, prob raise the flop with a fistful of equity.

    Hand 1 - Are you guys betting the turn and giving up river? I feel like turn gets called a lot.

    Hand 2 - I'm raising AT on the flop, but I was thinking we had easily enough equity to call in position (and often bluff/steal later), and didn't particularly want to get 3bet.

    If you raise flop, are you 4bet shoving?
