Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

My image at the table was as usual LAG/maniac. Therefore his turn bet makes no sense whatsoever. His hand range seems to clearly be something like 44-99. Being able to identify these bets and put pressure on your opponent can add that little extra to your winrate/image/game.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

I agree with your take on the hand, however, a little info on villain might be nice.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

Standard.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

yes very good line taken but like someone else said stats would be nice incase he's a lag/maniac that may come over the top if likes to try and put moves on people.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

It would be pretty suicidal to put a move on someone in this spot.

You think villain wouldn't take this line with AJ? Of course knowing your lag image it would be smarter to check/call for him but do we assume he's perceptive enough to take this line most of the time?

Careful, I've known a few opponent's who play a King this way. At least I do a lot against [censored] $200 players. Also, would you raise this much with a King?

I like to win big pots. It seems to be working out well for me so far.

Not my usual line. Works the other way. Villain probably had an image similar to yours.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

Nice hand,

But I dont like the play, at least not without a very strong read or/and some outs.

Um, okay? I wasn't chastizing you or your style of play. I was seriously wondering if you do indeed play a King this way. And again, I'd be careful as I see Villain playing his King this way. Just trying to keep you out of trouble. Nh.

I know you weren't. Just saying that of course I would play a king like that. I want to win a big pot.

This seems pretty standard to me. What then is your usual line? Lead when the flop isn't likely to hit villain?

Most of the time this guy has nothing here. I was inducing a bluff. He was a 40/20 lag.

I'd probably never use this line vs a solid player who probably has a hand.

I think I'm 50/50 on doing this or leading with a solid player. Guess it depends on whether or not they lean toward weaktight and what they think of me. The way you played this hand it could be perceived from a solid player (if they don't think much of you abilities) that you just hit your KQ or AQ, they'll figure to have that beat or you're not getting anything more out of them anyway.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

What'd you do after his raise?

No way any solid player who plays me thinks I just hit my KQ or AQ here.

And I pushed, only 200 more, pot is so big he'll call with a huge range at this point.
