200NL...I keep swearing I\'ll stop this...2 barrel bluff (or 3)
 

Semi Hypothetical hand.

Villian seemed pretty tight pf. I put him on pocket pair TT (maybe JJ or below. AA is possible too but less likely, especially when he didnt push river. Most people wont play JJ-KK like this.

exactly which street do u give up?

I think this is fine.

I wrote a longer response but it's easier to just say that bluffing should only be done if you have a read that tells you there's a reasonable chance for success. No read = no bluff

I mean the turn is iffy when a lot of players won't fold and you got 6 outs. When you catch one of the best cards you possibly can on the river, no way can you wimp out.

I agree. I'd give up on the turn with no read, but certainly the river is a clear bluff.

What is hero represeting with that last bullett? AA? Or is villain supposed to buy that our line is consistent with AK? If we had QQ we would check behind here.

Also the last bullet will only be 1/2 the pot... I wouldn't have the balls, but I'm not a big bluffer

The line is consistent with AK since it in fact is AQ.

Hero is representing: 9x, AA, KK, AK, x[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]x[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 22, 66, 99

I think this line is quite possible with all of these holdings, except maybe 99.

I would certainly not check behind with QQ after playing flop and turn like this.

if he folded you were ahead or he is an idiot...

if you know he's an idiot then good play...

if not, bad bluff...

the answer is in your read...nothing we can say can help you.

holla.
