    Default Let's play which bluffs worked

    These hands are at 2/4 but I'm going to make an exception for myself because I was previously playing this guy at 5/10 and it's my forum so yeah.

    Relevant reads: I'm playing relatively aggressive but really have not followed through that much. I have overbet a similar amount in hand 1 over pot three times and he called once when he rivered two pair and folded the other two times. I have not raised his barrels in position after c/c the flop on the turn or river at all. I have not raised his bets past the flop period. I have been c/ring the flop a ton but have not followed through onto the river much at all.

    Hand 1:

    Where are you posting these from? Both HEM and PT3 give you converted format with the click of a button.

    I'll guess 1&2 worked.

    im gonna say one works quite often
    2 and 3 seem like a little much to me...

    i like a cc or cf in hand 3 quite a bit more than jam.
    I got more flava than fruitstripe gum

    yea I feel like 2 and 3 worked because u had the best hand, id call both before jamming

    I'd say 1 works cause there's a wide range of hands you could credibly play this way. 2 I can't imagine working unless he had air...feel like you rep ridiculously narrow.

    3 could work.. but like alex says, its if he has some bricked draw.

    I was gonna say they all worked but clearly since you posted this one of them didn't.

    I think 2 definitely worked. 1 or 3 failed depending on on the type of player.

    I think 1-2 worked.

    I agree with everyone else that No. 2 definitely worked, you're bluffing in a spot where you can't be bluffing.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    On this particular board he can conceivably get to river with all pairs from 2x with A2 or something, up to Qx with KQ. All of these pairs, except for maybe JJ+ could conceivably turn themselves into bluffs instead of calling river.

    Does he ever have air? Probably not, does he have a ton of medium strength hands? yes.

    Answer: All of them worked. He tanked on 1 and 2 and then folded and on 3 I don't remember if he tanked or not.
