bluff the River? vs. thinking Reg

Hey Tony
A good question here is: What u are trying to represent?
Can be 8x, and this make sense since u started betting on turn... but are very few combos overall.

After that, one more thing (and important one) to analyze... Villain is inclined to believe u? In other words: Villain is folding that much?

For this we have to look the way he plays, if he is more inclined to a weak tight or a calling station posflop, have a high "went to showdown" stat and these stuff.
The thing is the guy has to know where the "folding button" is. I m never doing this vs a loose caller, for example. Instead, I would play really unbalanced and way weighted towards value (and still get paid most of the time).

The last, but not the least... Ur image. If u was really active at table or not. This can influence how much villain is inclined to call ur big bets.

All of this together goes to balance when deciding going that aggro in the hand ♠_drink:

I m sorry if my post was a bit big... but I wanted to go into a full detailed post so u could see the full picture behind the play.

Hey Afu,

thx for your detailed analyse of the Hand
a post can never be to big!

I had been talking last time with another player on 888 about a similar Hand where he called me down on the bubble with Q high as 2nd Bigstack, (a Winning Player) he said i bluff so much

so that told me something about my Image and now it makes more Sense to me why some of the Regs sometimes go broke even with A high or Bottom Pair against me. Need to adjust there and bluff less and valuebet more!

at the Particular Hand i tryed to represent 8x, or a Fullhouse i was really putting the other guy on a mediocre Hand or A high, i was thinking he sure will call a 1/2 potbet and he also may call a near potsized bet, but i really believed he will fold if i put in all of his Chips, but afterwards i found out that actually he is one of the Regs which like to call me down, so he is a Callingstation against me and therefore i need to adjust as u said going towards Value

Cheers Tony

The thing is... thinking the guy is weak is not enough. He has to believe that he have a worse hand them u hahahaha
Thats why I think villains are stacking off light when having hero HU. Surprise them being the same aggro guy, but with THE NUTS next time ♠_wink:

Btw, what he had in this hand?

Hey Bro,

yeah i gonna adjust next time and betting out like crazy with strong Hands!

he had A high, i think he putted me on a polarized Range and therefore made the Call.

One good idea that I particularly use in those situations...
if villain is that light with u, u can do the same play when hitting a six on this hand if u think he more likely have broadways like AQ that missed, but ll call u because ur image. (villain having a 8 is very unlikely, and a 3 or a 4 even more w his opening range)

Thats the other side of the same coin when people get so loose when facing ur bets ♠_drink:
