Bluff raising river
 

10/20 5-handed. We both have about $2000.

folded to me on the button, I make it $70 with 8s6s. SB folds, villain calls.

Flops is Jd 9d 4c. We both checks, I have done this with air as well as with a real hand.

Turn is Kc. He checks I bet $130 (pot is $160), he calls.

River is Qd, making a fourstraight and a 3-flush. He bets $325 I make it $1300. Would you drop the straight here? Comments appreciated.

Nope.

Re: Bluff raising river
 

spewage in my opinion. he could
A) have a flush and likely call
B) have a straight and maybe call
C) have anything else and probably fold.

of course if he calls you lost, so your risking 1300 to win about 750...so i guess this has to work about 60% of the time? or maybe more, i dont know.

Re: Bluff raising river
 

do you mean that you dont fold the naked ten or the nut straight?

im mucking the ten here barring a pretty strong read and AT against many opponents

Re: Bluff raising river
 

Given how the hand played out, I am not even folding the naked ten here.

You don't think it's plausible for the hero to have checked his flush draw on the flop?

Re: Bluff raising river
 

I dont like this bet. I think you get called too often when you raise from the button here and play the hand as you did.

Re: Bluff raising river
 

I like it but its entirely opponent dependent and nobody has a better read than you do thus I don't think we'll qualified to comment.
