Thoughts on this bluff

**davidab157** · 04-21-2007

Villain is 68/5/0.63. From what I've seen he is always after seeing the board play out but gives up when he doesn't hit. When I raised pf I misread his stats for someone elses, otherwise I wouldn't have raised in the first place. But as played, what do you think of this 3-barrel?

I like it in the sense that you will (should) get quite a few hands that beat you to fold most likely being ace / king flush draws, naked aces etc. It's also a good size bluff - i.e big enough to fold the above mentioned hands, but cheap enough so that if you're wrong you've lost the least amount and it also looks like a value bet.

My only problem is that villains a calling station and is likely to call with any pair that most reasonable players would fold to your river bet.

Obviously you picked the right time to bluff. The BB had to had a decent hand and was willing to stick it through to catch the pair.. but you kept up your bets. Nice.

Read the rest.

I misread his stats preflop. But I had a read on his postflop play, that's why I did it.

**bboy** · 04-22-2007

so what are his actual stats? it seems pretty foolish to put up the stats for the guy you were incorrect about

if he was the 65/5, i still dont like it. you say he lays down after gthe board comes out and he doesn't connect, but if he was 65/5 you really can't put him on a hand and although this may have worked, thre are MUCH MUCH better spots to find value when playing against these guys. save your bluffs for weaktighties

90% of the time this is horrible, guess you got the 10%.

NH.

Those were his stats. When I decided to raise, I misread his stats for another person at the table who was like <15 VPIP. Just after I put out the raise I realised he was actually 68.

Definitely not the kind of move I make alot post-flop but I just got that...feeling on the river that he had nothing and I could get him off it.

i hate 3 barreling and when they call you down your fucked because then your c-bets dont look as good because you were just showed up..

**jupit3r** · 04-22-2007

At those stakes. Against that kinda villain. -EV. I often bluff stations on the flop in position but when they call your flop bluff it's checkity check 'n fold because they don't lay their bottom pair down.
