Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.1/$0.25 No-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$6.00:///////;SB (Hero)$27.24:///////;BB$30.38:///////;MP3$46.16:///////;CO$5.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is SB with T:h, 9:d.
3 folds, Hero raises to $1.00, BB calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2) 8:h, 4:s, 4:d (2 players)
Hero bets $1.30, BB calls $1.30.

Turn: ($4.6) 2:h (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $2.18, Hero raises to $7.00,

BB is 17/12/1 on 40 hands

I put him on a small pair 33,55,66,77; 99 and TT are less likely; and I thought he's gonna bet/fold them on the turn

Is this a good spot for a checkraise or should I refrain from bluffing on this limit?

Hi hov100,

Interesting hand. Now I'm thinking,
what would I do with a small pair, 4x, 8x, here, if I was on a BB.
I could think that you would mostly choose other lines if you had a hand here,
if I wasn't floating very much here.
This hand looks like a bluff, just because, I think, you would 2nd barrel with over-pairs, 8x, 4x.
So these hands are almost never here.
I don't know, maybe you are mixing-up your game here with strong hands also,
but I would play like this (strong hands) if BB was floating a lot.

Just give it up. C-bet makes a good work, too. Opponent's will fold more than 50% on a paired flops.


I think it is not bad idea to turn your hand into bluff that spot
He should b/f all of his high hands and I think even pp-s is really hard b/c to your turn c/r
So mixing it up in your game is fine play
