Hi.

Flop: You are a little deep here so I think raising flop to 22$ is a decent option. For 135bb, overpairs are still never folding here IMO.

Turn: I think this bet size is way too small. If you noticed on the River, there is more than a pot size bet left behind. You should have bet $30 here, and pot will have $96.50, with $82 left beind in stacks.

River: We have J:c which blocks flush combos. Besides, our hand is really strong here, while we can expect to lose to a flush really often, he could have busted X:hX:h or maybe some other stuff like KT

What would I call here? IMO his line is either X:cX:c or a busted draw. Technically we could argue that JJ = AQ here assuming he doesn't play a hand like bottom set in a weird manner.

We want to bluff catch more often with blockers and fold more often with blockers and K/T blockers. When we block value combos, we are ahead more often. When we block bluff combos, we are behind more often.

Thx for fast reply:) everything you wrote makes sense.
However with what other hands would you call river? Hands that contain other flush blockers?

he's betting close to pot size, so you need to defend about 50% of your range. Split your range up in descending order, and call the top half while folding the bottom half.

So we pick hands with the best blocking cards, then we pick hands with the best absolute hand strength. Rank the hands that block bluff combos at the bottom.
