BU: $9.19 (184 bb)
SB: $6.54 (131 bb)
BB (Hero): $10.01 (200 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is BB with A 8
3 players fold, BTN raises to $0.12, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.07

Flop: ($0.26) 6 A 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.10, Hero calls $0.10

Is it too spewy of me to turn my TP into a bluff on river vs unknown?

My thought process was that I cant call since i don't beat any of his Ax when he triple barrels but since i have Ad i can rep rivered flush quite well and I think even if its 5nl I can still get folds . What do you think?

I like that gutsy play with nut blocker but you are doing it on the wrong limit. Just fold on the river.

You might consider 3bet preflop.

Hello,
I think you can fold pf, it is a difficult hand to play OOP, this type of hands I usually defend passively in BB vs SB.
I don't like resteal for being deep, it can pay you more and the same, it will be difficult for you to play it OOP.
As you play it, I like the river bluff blocking the nut flush, but I don't know if it's really convenient, because we don't know if villain is capable of folding a flush; against a reg if I think he has more EV+

with the nutflushblocker your thoughts have some value to turn it into a bluff at some ( low ) frequency.

However its NL 5, he bets turn and river more on the bigger sizing, then on smaller.

I would not spew too much around here and find the call or fold button. Keep it simple in this spot. Who knows if he is even able to fold 1 pair.

You do beat some random bluff and air, against unknown you can call here or even fold against this line sometimes.
You only need to win a bit more then 28 % of the time to make this a profitable call.

From my experience its usually nutted ish hands when they bet at 5nl on 3 streets, very few people find a bluff and they usually just check whenever any sort of draw completes, but yeah i did think in the end that i spewed here and should've just folded

I would most likely fold the turn with top pair weak kicker. If you want to bluff the river you need to make it at least $2. Now villain gets decent odds to call.

Ha megvan a szín, nemigen lehet kiblöffölni, kevesen képesek arra, h eldobják.
Floppon emeltem volna egy nagyobbat.

Try to speak English. Otherwise we don't understand you.

I like your thinking but as mentioned it is vs an unknown in micro limits that's not the best spot. Furthermore he clearly showed intrest in the pot which makes it even harder to bluff him off the hand. Nice try but not the best timing :f_thumbsup:
