have you been doing any more of that overbet bluff?

i really like a huge bet here. push.

The opponents are unknown and it seems a bit thin 77-JJ calling. If I had AQ-KQ, Id like it alot more.

I think in this hand I like underbetting. Betting pot is also pretty thin bet imo. Although underbetting might be begging to get bluffed.

Out of curiousity-what other hands do you tend to underbet on the river? Do you make a lot of small value bets? I used to do this but decided it's probably leaving money on the table when I have a hand and now I tend to bet every river big regardless of if I'm bluffing or value betting.

i thought this hand was interesting because it was against unknowns. that is why i considered underbetting, because i dont feel like unknowns are very likely to call an overbet in this situation with a worse hand. against someone ive been playing with alot potting it here is standard.

I guess we should have paid more attention to that. Obviously against unknowns you're less worried about meta-game purposes. I assume you're also less likely to think villains are tricksy, aggressive, and thoughtful? If so the underbet is good because you're not worried about a check-raise nor about villain mucking a JJ-type hand figuring this can't be a post-oak bluff.
