    Default Trying to rep a bluff on the river 50NL speed poker

    Villain and I have been 3b/4b each other pretty liberally and I have been getting the better of him without getting to show down. For this reason, I believe his range is wide throughout the entire hand. My plan was to check/bomb the turn since I felt he would bluff with a huge portion of his range but since he checked back, I feel as if he has a medium strength hand with some sort of showdown value. From history, I think potting here on the river looks more bluffy than if I were to 1/2 to 3/4th it.

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    I'd bet the turn and I agree with bikes, this doesn't look very bluffy when done by a reg.

    I don't really like 3betting preflop with this hand but im sure its +EV I just tend to think with hands where you can profitably call preflop in 6max games you should probably do so and instead 3bet hands that are not +EV calls preflop.

    I like checking the flop and betting twice on most run outs if he checks behind. I don't think you can feel comfortable getting it in here on any street. If he bets 3 times I'd call down.

    As played I'd say betting river is a no brainer but i dont think you're getting calls very much. May be better off betting small and inducing or just trying to get something dumb to call.

    3betting pre isn't good unless he's a) raising very wide otb (Highly doubt it in speed poker) or b) Calling really wide to 3bets otb (Also highly doubt it in speed poker).
