Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

folded to button, he makes it 65...I am in the BB, in a NL tournament I usually raise here but I just called with KQcc.

Flop J83 with one club, I check...opponent bets 65 I make it 250. Standard?

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

definitely not standard

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

rofl, how would this possibly be standard?

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

yes, this is standard chip spewing. If you want to steal lead and fold to a raise.

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

I dont mind the call in BB PF. I wouldnt re-raise here, especially with KQ. Even with a better hand, ill often call in BB when i know it will be heads up.

For re-raising, ill do this mostly out of SB with 99 and up, maybe with slick and AQ, but then i'm tighter than most here.

As far as flop, no way i check raise that without a big reason you haven't listed.

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

His bet looked weak so I tried to take the pot away from him. Also everyone is scared to call raises in this game so he probably folds anything but a J or better. I could definitely be wrong but that was my thinking

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

what are you representing? a set? just lead the flop

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

I didnt want to lead the flop because I was probably gonna check fold. When he bet so weak I figured there was a better than 50 percent chance he would fold to the check-raise so I decided to try to take the bot

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

if your plan was to check and fold, just check and fold. by the way, didn't he bet half the pot? how is that weak?

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

Very opponent dependent.
I hate giving up my blinds and KQs is def a hand i defend with.
If he has been doing this a lot(blind stealing) i would reraise pf with KQs.
Given that u just called pf, the flop CR is fine,if he calls...that is when reads become crucial...think he'll dump an overpair? or a decent jack?

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

65 seems like a weak stab at the pot from an unknown. This is clearly not an exact science though. Basically my check-raise only has to work here like 55 percent of the time to be +EV. Do u think he is calling this check-raise half the time? There is a good chance he is folding everything but TPGK, a set or an overpair...I dont think he has those hands a majority of the time

Hiatus,

Looks good to me.

this is incorrect logic. Also he needs to fold to your checkraise far less than 50% of the time for it to be profitable. Dont forget that your allowed to hit the turn.

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

yea I remembered I could hit the turn, I didnt do the exact calculations so I decided to stay cautious with the number...but I knew it was favorable.

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

I think you can C/R for less and accomplish the same result.

Re: Party 10-20 NL bluff
 

I like it but I agree that you could probably make it just $200 and get same results.
