Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) 7♦ K♠ 9♥
Hero checks, MP bets 13.58 BB, Hero calls 13.58 BB

Turn: (46.66 BB, 2 players) Q♠
Hero checks, MP checks

River: (46.66 BB, 2 players) T♣
Hero bets 5 BB, MP raises to 78.92 BB and is all-in, fold

Spoiler

MP wins 54.12 BB

would it be ok to fold vs 3bet vs unknown AK, QQ MP vs UTG? or even to 4bet/bluff as it has excellent blockers?

Hi GingerKid,

Preflop: how often do you expect unknowns to 3-bet vs UTG? I think folding or 4-bet/bluffing such strong hands is a bit nitty unless you face nits.

Postflop: as played river can be a check/fold. that small bet doesn't achieve a lot other than maybe AQ calling but that would check back anyway.

I expect small bet to get called sometimes by worse, but mainly to stop him bluffing, since regs usually dont bluff raise in such induce spot, so i dont have problem folding.

I assume that villians dont bluff much Mp vs utg. It is imo mostly KK+ and few bluffs, so i think that calling sucks oop vs such range.

But what range can he bluff river with that bets flop and checks turn?

Most regs also don't turn some random SD into bluffs in many spots so you could check to him.

Betting so small can prevent some bluffs but I doubt that a reg that would bluff a river normally would care much about your small donk.
