Epic Bluff Forces Huge Fold and Disgusts Opponent!

[@CrushlivePoker]

What do you think about using the non all in sizing for bluff efficiency? Would you still expect him to fold what he claimed he had?

[@legendiary3094]

Odds would say if he got a better price he calling his “straight” but the jam was probably too much. Also at the time he’s only has 800$ of his money on that pot when it becomes 2100 to call so

[@thomastomasello2705]

This is a donation bluff on the river most of the time. Guy repped pair+ draws at minimum from flop and almost everything is snapping off any river bet. Spot sucks but could be made easier with smaller flop bet. Villain bet too small on turn. The check by him on river made this verrrrrrrry strange. Villain shouldve led 1/3 to 1/2 pot on river and expect to be good when called some of the time. This is such a weird hand cuz both players didnt play it great. By the river they r just clickin buttons.

[@danielmeuler2877]

If I folded a flush here (I most likely wouldn't) I would have said I had a lower hand. I will also do the opposite sometimes and say I had a better hand. Moral of the story, unless you see the cards, it's all just empty words.

[@notallowed337]

Yep😂

[@5saMan6]

Words are wind

[@McBluffins]

I’d almost always check flop back with TT. Played as is, calling checkraise and halfpot turn bet makes sense-would definitely fire a hefty bet ($1200 or so) if diamond falls on river and villain checks. Board pairing diamond is even better. Doubtful villain is trapping river. I’d be betting AA and KK for value which would be balanced against missed draws.

[@Houtenaar]

Against the fish I would check or small bet

[@EllieBanks333]

Hero played the hand just fine. I do think his river bluff was large, actually looks a bit bluffy. It did work out though. Not sure I buy villains reveal though, his sizing should be much larger with a straight here. Now I think it's fun for me to put something in the comment that certain people will find crazy. I could see folding on the flop here. Hero will very rarely hit the turn & when he does it will often bring in diamonds or if he hits a ten - it puts a 4 straight on the board. This will drive people crazy because "how could you ever flop an open ended straight draw & fold??""

[@pot_kivach160]

I'd fold flop without much hesitation (V's profile dependant). R: it's a flush draw only the hand that I beat here. In which case my open ender has 6 outs only. Strange H never said profile of V?? . Flop and river bets were overbets!?? I don't think that a pro would've missed to pick these up.

[@siIverspawn]

I'd definitely fold the flop. I'm not confident in declaring that calling is negative EV, but at best it's mildly positive EV with huge variance. If you're an extremely strong player with a large bankroll, maybe this call is correct. But if you're on a downswing, playing like this seems very hard to justify. And I'm not convinced it's even +EV in the first place.

[@chrisowen3878]

I figure if we are betting the river for value against hands like Qx or QJ, we probably don't want to go much more than $700 to get a call. So if we want to get those hands to fold, I would suspect $1k would be the magic number

[@pugsnhogz]

1. Check back flop Sure we can bet at some frequency but I like check a lot more most of the time. Villain has a ton of Qx/Jx, why bloat the pot and reopen action. Peel IP and evaluate

[@thomastomasello2705]

if you check flop your range is capped cuz ur never checking nuts being this deep. villain is unlikely to raise seeing that you have 2 tens making straight unlikely and probably needs 2 pair minimum and probably at least a set to raise if they r on tighter side. bet 1/3 to 1/2 pot on flop and if raised it shouldnt be a bad price to call n reevaluate turn

[@pugsnhogz]

@@thomastomasello2705 that sounds fine too, I still don’t think it’s so bad to check sometimes. I mix in these spots depending on player notes/reads, personally.

[@tylerabbott7108]

The small blond will have a lot of QJ and K10 in range here right? I’m not too sure about the immediate c bet on the flop followed by a call? What is hero representing? AX diamonds? KQ? QQ? JJ? AQ? Don’t know id fold to the flop raise tbh. Just doesn’t seem like a good continue at all in my opinion villian will have all strong hands that easily call down and hero can’t really represent a Q9 or J9 all that easy? I don’t know seems like a thin bluff to me

[@moneyman1110]

Heroes enthusiasm is 🔥

[@aliharoon5623]

I wonder if hero called an audible and switched the hero and the villain in this hand, going by his tone 😂

[@MichaelFoucault-u4h]

You never know what's going on in his life so judging his enthusiasm like who cares

[@jacobbirkenfeld9261]

My man calling in from the local T-swift concert 🙄

[@johnny8309]

In this hand its a great bluff spot because likely villain hand on QJ 2 pair is also counterfeit by Aces and Kings. Regarding the sizing, I prefer putting max presure on weaker players and making the middling sizing on better players. On the can you make K10 hand fold its completely player dependent, a good player can fold that straight but many Rec's cannot, people give players too much credit and Im not trying to make that miracle play. Often I exagerate the hand I folded when I think they had nit to needle them.

[@nolimitpoker]

Poor range construction on flop just compounds mistake after mistake. Why would you ever size up 1010 and put that in your big size bluffs. Use a10 small pp or diamonds in your big size. You sized up flop and get checkraise bye a passive spot. Flops just a snap fold

[@pugsnhogz]

[@Mathemagical55]

Graham's a regular caller and always brings some good hands. It's hard to be chipper when you're on a downswing.

[@maxs2047]

Why not just bet pot on the river in hopes to fold out the QJ and Straights?

[@the_jeremiah]

In most low stakes games a Half pot bet often just a secon pair or single pair holding. Villian's bet on the Turn screams one pair.

[@Ishbikes]

Right? Low stakes is a completely different game

[@deanalbertson7203]

I think he had AQ.

[@daithi1966]

The caller sounds like he is struggling not to fall asleep.

[@benbenxu711]

I didn't go see the end before write this comment. a simple think that oop check raised the flop,beted half trun,checked the river with diamand 9, i think oop really had flush complete,but why he checked the river,one idea is that he was afraid pair 99 on the board, because ip could had full house with QQ JJ,so oop went check wanted to show down, i agree ip jam the river as bluff, because one pair was already behind oop

[@pot_kivach160]

A flush does not check river here. He played it all the way for this card, and letting it go just like that defeats the purpose of his play. Particularly not an "A" high flush.

[@hypergenex1419]

I‘d never trust someone that folds their hand face down but 10/8 or even K/10 does sound reasonable since there are 2 diamonds and many Potential action killing cards. Idk correct me if i am wrong

[@pot_kivach160]

look: one who was called on x/r flop, DOES NOT bet weak turn in hope opponent would've folded. So: V most likely had a pair with straight draw. (AQ/AT). That's it. He bet turn just to maintain his "hand dominance". Obviously, V was not interested in river whatsoever.

It's a paired board and the flush gets there. A straight is a marginal bluffcatcher at best. With no flush and boat blockers, this call would burn money, especially in live poker where barely anyone bluffs rivers for huge sizings. ​If you frequently call your straights in this spot, then gl to you :) @@skylertaylor7283

Just rewatched the Video. With the Line sb has taken, then a straight is probably one of the worst hands he has here, which would make a call even more atrocious

[@brettmiller6343]

@@skylertaylor7283KT straight is probably an easier fold than QJ in this spot. Hero is saying he has nut flush or a boat. QJ blocks boats and tens are in heros bluff range so straight is an easy fold for these odds

You'd get run over in a tough game but people generally don't bluff river enough so your fold might well be correct in the pool you play.

id always check back flop here. youre up against a weak player whos never folding better on a board that hits his range pretty hard. obviously your hand has decent equity against his range but its never great when youre called. you just cant get value from worse ever except for naked diamonds, naked tens and T9 and you block a huge portion of those hands.

[@myanaloglife9450]

Guy won, what’s wrong with how he did it, if this is a dumb comment please educate me, newer player

[@andywarhaul12]

I mean he gambled pretty hard. Maybe he knows the villains game well but hero holds a pocket pair, blocks a lot of the potential straight hands out there which is what you’d be hoping the villain has when the 9d comes on the river. The top few nuts changes drastically from the straight to quads, full houses, and diamond flushes. For the same reason you are hoping that the villain has the straight, you now have to be worried because what if he had pocket 9s, diamonds etc. Again you’d have to know the guy but I think it’s reasonable to rule out pocket queens as there was no 3 bet pre, jacks at these stakes and this game I have no idea how often people are 3 betting that but it possibly more likely that those don’t 3 bet I don’t know though. Basically there are several plausible hands you are losing to, and the hands you would want the villain to have which would make him scared of the river, you block by having 10s. Could have gone very badly but was played well for the most part I think if the hero knows the villains game
