Should I bluff? (Ignore my location, please)
 
Villain is TAG. Not really a good player, but somewhat thinking. Takes decent lines and is fairly aggressive, but doesn't really tailor his play properly to opponents, not a good hand reader, etc. I'm sure he's a winner in the games, but he also got stacked with open trips no kicker in this session. I'm not sure if it was a situation where I would have called or not since I wasn't really paying attention. So obviously not world class, but not a donk at all either. Numbers are 33/12 or something over 100ish hands. Only goes to showdown around 20% or so. So somewhat weak postflop.

What is his hand range and is this a good spot to bluff? If so, how much?

He just check called and then bet out big- it looks like there is a good chance he was trying to slow play a set. You do not even have a re-draw against most of his hands. Time to fold this.

I didn't ask about the flop bet. But for the sake of open discussion (although I'd rather not discuss it in this thread) it is the same type of flop bet I made in my other thread with KQ on a T9x flop. I am underbetting the pot a lot lately and really liking the results. But this is neither here nor there. How about talking about the turn?

i hope you realize the A makes straight its not an impossible card for him, it's actually pretty likely, i think all your bluff is going to do in this situation is lose you money.

Continuation bet in this hand = bad.

Bluffing the turn = worse.

An ace doesn't make a straight. A 4 makes a straight.

You just check and fold in this hand? What hand range do you put him on with this turn bet?

He woke up and likes his hand. Unless you think he is capable of a stone call bluff or a bet on the come, bluffing is a bad idea.

But what hand did he wake up and like?
