Villain 27/17/55hands on annonymus table
i completly mess up this deal, since i dont usually cold call utg raise from blinds but this hand to good to fold and no reason to 3bet, My plan was to check/raise
flop. Flop isnt best for c/r but i think a lot better hands can fold like pocket pairs+AQ+AK. When he called i give him range AJ, 77-AA, QJs, maybe KJs. I think most of those hands can call me only one street, so i decide to check and induce bluff (or should i bet turn?). River gets pair on board but i think i cant find fold anyway. Would like comments on all streets since not sure it was best play on all of them

Hi Tombic,

We are playing vs UTG but this is a 4 handed game and thus he is in "CO". That would tell me that we could 3-bet this for value because villains like to call 3-bets IP a lot. We would still have to fold to a 4-bet though.

As played why are you checking the turn? His range for calling flop is going to have made hands and most of these won't be turned into a bluff (what range did you want him to bluff you with?).

On the river we are calling for a split in best case scenario.

I would bet 1/2-2/3 on the turn and take it from there as I expect villain to have some sort of Tx or 2p that didn't want to go broke on the flop. He rarely has KQ type hands.

I would also make that flop ck/raise slightly larger to mimic what we would make it for value. FOr example, what would you ck/raise to with 99 on that flop? 2.2 or larger?
