How was my River Bluff?
 

20-40 live at Brantford Casino.

I am by far the tightest at the table and havn't played a hand in a long time. But I am up 40BB and have won every hand that I've played and have shown down good hands only.

Folded to me in the cutoff I have K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and raise.

semi-tight decent regular player in BB calls.

Flop is all rainbow babbies and he throws out a bet. I call planning a check-raise bluff on the turn.

Turn is a Q. He checks, I check (BET?)

River is the Ace and he bets out. I raise, he thinks for a while and then reluctantly calls with A 10.

I would consider calling the river as strongly as raising it. Actually I wouldn't really consider raising it at all, as I think you aren't getting the fold from a better hand often enough here.

Another thing: Would you raise AK on the river here? You play up until the river screams "no pair" (and your lack of a flop raise or turn bet even casts some doubts over something close to "nut no pair and nut pair draw"). The river raise seems a bit suspect, really.

You are throwing in two BB to win four BB. There is just no way you take this down anywhere close to 50% of the time. And that´s putting it nicely, IMHO.

Unnecessary, if you bet the turn.

Ah the in-position delayed checkraise bluff. I love it!
