    Some Bluffs and Bluff catching anyone?

    Hand 42)
    -villain was aggro and spewy type that likes to make plays
    -villain was 3betting around 12 and being very aggro
    -Why the re-bluff:
    1) I feel like this kind of "making plays" villain thinks he can rep strong here
    2) Such a high 3bet, he's rarely showing up with strong Q's here like AQ/KQ even if he has a Q, and he might not necessarily always c/r QJ or worse Q's
    3) I block the nut FD so if he has a lower FDs he won't love being 3b here

    Hand 43)
    -villain is meh reg, who calls lots of flops
    Why bluff:
    -because my range is much stronger than villains, and in my experience regs seem to fold here
    -if I'm in villains shoes I'm certainly folding a ton here

    Bluff catching?
    -Villain opens wide EP, and generally cbets pretty high
    -on the river as per my "calling big bets" conditions earlier in the blog:
    -Do they expect me to fold? YES
    -Can their range be strong? Meh, he probably thinks yes
    -Can my range be strong? No - not after turn check back
    -Should he expect me to bet? Not really - so c/r doesn't make much sense
    -Moreso: after he c/r the flop he gets to river with a very wide range of hands that won't really want to c/c, so will either c/f or c/r
