Hello,
I'm back after a long break, really psyched to see a detailed answer I might just start posting hands here again. Thanks in advance

PokerStars - $0.25 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

HeroCall89s (SB): $25.39
NotYY4Me (BB): $26.51
Alex Ogaryov (CO): $20.91
DoC.LemOn (BTN): $25.68

HeroCall89s posts SB $0.10, NotYY4Me posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) DoC.LemOn has A♥ 3♠

fold, DoC.LemOn raises to $0.50, fold, NotYY4Me calls $0.25

Flop: ($1.10, 2 players) T♥ 4♥ J♦
NotYY4Me checks, DoC.LemOn bets $0.84, NotYY4Me calls $0.84

Turn: ($2.78, 2 players) 5♣
NotYY4Me checks, DoC.LemOn bets $2.12, NotYY4Me:

Let's focus on turn here and implications of rivers

Value combos:

Bluff combos:

AhKx AhQx cause gutter+blockers
is 85combos already

his odds are 30% OTT

With that range I have already 60:40 value:bluff ratio so I shouldn't add more bluffs like the hand I used in the HH I posted if I want to have a balanced range there?

BUT I get to realize equity with those semi bluffs so I can bluff more than that innit, allowing me to add hands like the one I used?

The blocker also lets me bluff river on hearts (what do you call that when you have a blocker ? informational assymetry?)

so question is how do I decide what a good turn barrel % and bluff:value ratio when I have a lot of semi bluffs in my range and I want to have a balanced /solid range?

How much is reacting to a cr a factor here?

What other factors go into your decision when choosing turn range?

I wouldn't C-Bet the flop although we have the backdoors, the board hits his preflop calling range just too well. Plus you got showdownvalue with your A-high.

As played, if we bet the flop, we have to bet every heart, 2 or 5, so I guess it's okay to bet/fold the turn.

Most rivers I would just give up if we don't improve, maybe sometimes bluff a heart, but only if villain isn't too call-happy.

Hi Lemon,

Flop we could argue that regs at these don't call enough on the BB and for that reason the flop hits his range pretty hard so I would say say it's not a mistake to check back and give up.

Turn, regarding your questions, if we bet potsize turn, in a pure "polar vs bluffcatcher" situation our bluff to value ratio should be close to 1 to 1. The more equity our bluffs have the more you can up this ratio, by how much it's really hard to say and it's very likely that no one knows with certainty. The fact villain's range also has some equity against your value range also "evens" some of that.

Regarding x/r, well, the higher the x/r frequency of villain the less you can bluff since you don't get to realize that equity, but I'd guess in these type of spots that factor is almost negligible since villain will not x/r often.

River, yes, I think we have a good hand to bluff on river :heart: for sure.
