Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (8 handed) converter

UTG ($11.55)
UTG+1 ($24.15)
MP1 ($17.95)
MP2 ($26.55)
Hero ($25.95)
Button ($33.8)
SB ($18.85)
BB ($37.5)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J, Q. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
2 folds, MP1 raises to $0.75, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.75, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $0.65, 1 fold.

Flop: ($2.50) 5, 5, A (3 players)
SB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $1.2, SB folds, MP1 calls $1.20.

Turn: ($4.90) Q [color:#0000FF](2 players)[/color]
MP1 checks, Hero bets $2, MP1 calls $2.

River: ($8.90) 3 (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $8.90

Results below:
MP1 has As Ad (full house, aces full of fives).
Hero has Jd Qc (two pair, queens and fives).
Outcome: MP1 wins $8.90.


I really thought I had a shot with a bluff here on the turn. This guy had VPIP of 56% and PFR of 16% on GT+, and a showdown % of just 20%. He certainly concealed this hand though.

I don't think his play here is all that bizarre or even unreadable. He made a decent sized raise with aces. Then when he flopped a monster, he slowplayed it with a bunch of check-calling. He was probably going for the check-raise on the river, and you disappointed him.

I don't really LIKE his play, but it's very straight-forward.

I guess if he meant to put a big check-raise in on the river then it makes more sense (not a play too often seen at this limit). But once the bluff (well, semibluff since I did have a pair of Qs and was tieing with KQ at this point) had been called on the turn I thought he must have an A down there. I was rather surprised to see two though.
