A8s

Hi.

Flop: pls define villain's calling range here

Turn: why is it a gd spot to bluff? What are u folding out?

River: i dont think clubs are ever folding for that halfpot bet. Besudes u have showdown value so ill take it and hope to be good (as unlikely as it seems)

range :

QQ-22, A6s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, ATo+, KJo+, QJo

he'll fold down to :

QQ-JJ, 44-33, ATs+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, ATo+, KJo+, QJo

approx folding 15-25% the hands in his range.

ah..i see..

pardon me.. what card is good to barrel then?

is any suited any good? or blankish card better?
comparing ie. an Ace turn, 9, 2 and either (K,4,3) something that pairs the board, and which is absolutely poor to barrel? can provide your examples! thanks

Flop calling range: probably some mid pairs like 88+, flush draws. Dont think villain has any straight draws here. Not when he is so nitty pre. Im sure he folds a lot in sb vs an ep raise. So that leaves u mostly against AcJc QcJc JcTc QcTc AcTc AcQc KcJd KcQc AcKc KcTc, maybe u can cut off some of these.

On the turn: u fold out 88-JJ. Nothing else. Flushdraws improve to flushes, and top pair hands arent ever folding for two bets. Whats ur FE here? 24 combos of PPs vs 5-6 combos of flushes, 2-9 combos of KQo/s, 12 combos of AK, 3 combos of KTs (i think he would often fold this pre though) and 3 combos of KJs, 9 combos of sets.

I think the q is a decent card to bluff at. Rmb that the purpose of the turn bet is.modtly to fold out weak gutshots and made hands worse than top pair. With your halfpot bet u need to fold out 1/3 of his range to break even

One more thing, about the other cards to barrel on...

I prefer having a single club in my hand when i bluff the turn. Not only could i kmprove to the best hand on a river 4th club, but having a club itself reduces the likelihood of villain ahving a flush or flushdrsw which can continue vs aggression.

High cards are always great to barrel on (A/Q/J). Low innocuous cards are bad. Pairing cards also suck for bluffing at. When a second king comes, its 33% less likely for u to have a king yourself. If the second card pairs, his second pair type of hands will often become trips now. (Very dependent on ranges and how high the second card is). Of cos people are playing mid and high cards way more often than 2-5
