So I like Turning pairs into bluffs.....

Villain is Lucky x 13 a reg with whom i have played a lot. hes about 22/13 and has shown in general a tendency to bluff raise and vbet thin as opposed to make big calls against me. my image is aggro tag/lag

Villain in hand is a weak looking 30/17 lag with whom i dont have a ton of history. preflop seems kind of marginal.

I think you are behind in hand 1, so you are not turning it into a bluff - it IS a bluff. Well, maybe since guy is known to bluff raise you are turning a winner into a bluff. And laying odds besides... don't like with your read.


Hand 2 is muuuuch closer. Kind of a two-way, because he might fold K or J and might call with 66-99. I don't like PF because you are OOP, unless you are sure you can out play him. Did you?

hand 1 sucks hand 2 is sweet

lol zenbitz u think im posting results after first reply???

In hand 1, why check behind on the flop? Are you opposed to building pots 3 handed with at least 12 near-nut outs? I much prefer betting the flop...

I guess I meant "did you THINK you could out play him post flop"

hand 1 : i m not sure you need to shove since you very likely have the best hand already. His range seems like KhQh/bluff so I don't think you get him to fold better by pushing.

13%pfr isn't usually raising K10s utg but his hand looks a lot like that to me.

Hand 2 is fine against a strong player but I don't really like it vs a weak player who'll have a tough time folding AK in this spot.

also Jeffrey I'm pretty sure sauce was expecting villain to bet flop in Hand 1 so he could CR.

I agree though that leading is fun in this spot.

yo bitch so like i folded hand 1 cause he has a combo draw runner runner flush and KQ and JJ too much even though intuitively at the time i wanted to shove cause hes fucking real lame and been givin me shit with hsi bluff raises but whatever ill stack him later i dont care.

and hand 2 i actually shoved and he 3 sec thought and folded cause AK isnt good here ever cause hes a dumb bitch and cant knock my hustle herrrewego vegas gogogogo

hand 2 is sweet but who likes a smaller raise?
hand 1: I dont get it isnt this a backdoor flush always?
