SB: $9.70 (97 bb)
Hero (BB): $9.56 (95.6 bb)
CO: $16.66 (166.6 bb)
BTN: $12.80 (128 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K J
CO folds, BTN raises to $0.25, SB folds, Hero calls $0.15

Flop: ($0.55) 5 9 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.31, Hero raises to $0.90, BTN calls $0.59

Turn: ($2.35) A (2 players)
Hero bets $1.25, BTN calls $1.25

River: ($4.85) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $7.16 and is all-in,

Villain is playing 26/22 on Pokerstars. Experimenting with bluff-raising dry flops against regs as i think more people are value-raising their 2pair+ on dry boards now. I don't think the flop hits his opening range so I'm repping 2pair+

River: I am constantly identifying spots where villains range is weak 1 pair hands on river but i just cannot make him fold. Bet less than pot they call for interest. Bet pot and they think "hes trying to make me fold by betting pot I hero call". Am i insane for shoving or is this where the game is now as i suspect?

Also I just dont think playing tight and getting fat value works at pokerstars 10NL anymore

Flop: I think a flat call works fine as well. Raising isn't terrible, but would you really fast play your sets here? I don't think that's necessarily the best way to play your sets. Not that raising sets here is super bad, but slowplaying is often the better option.

Nevertheless, not going to be overly concerned with balance here. NL10 guys generally don't think too much about ranges and just bet-fold when they have Ace high or worse.

Turn: I guess bluffing at the Ace is reasonable. You will often fold out some worse hands.

River: Assuming that you think your turn bluff folded out many of his hands (you should have bet larger on the turn btw to exert maximum pressure), what's left behind is mostly strong hands I would assume. And bluffing into such a range becomes a bad idea given our assumptions about his turn continuation range.

Thanks mbnl. I feel lost figuring out if this stuff is profitable but he did fold this time. Let the learning continue

Youre welcome.

Remember to be aware of how u are manipulating your opponents ranges at every decision point.

In this case theres a good chance that h continues turn much wider than he would otherwise have if u potted turn, which is why u have more FE on the river.
