AK Turn Check-Raise Semi-Bluff @ PP 10/20

[banditbdl]

I pulled a similar turn check-raise semibluff the other night playing 6/12. In that case I had a pretty solid read on the guy's play and was a little more confident it would work. This time I don't have much of a read as I've only been at the table a couple of rotations, but MP seems okayish. UTG is loose, terrible, and the reason I'm sitting at the table right now.

I don't think "okayish" is quite enough to convince me that he'll ever fold to this checkraise. TT,JJ calls down here more often than is really profitable for you. you're getting 7.5:2 from the pot and like 8:1 (?) on your overcards. I think you need a whole lot more fold equity for this move. and once he calls I think you have an even smaller amount of fold equity on the river. I can't think of any hands that fold in this situation, except a misplayed AJ, KJ.

what was the other semibluff you did?

The other semibluff was with AJ UTG or UTG+1 where I had raised and seen a three or four way flop. Flop was 8 high, there was a call, a fold, and then a raise. I called with a backdoor nut flush draw and the overs and then checkraised the flop raiser when a blank fell on the turn. Again I had a lot better read on that guy and estimated my fold equity as 50% plus based on how he had been playing and what he thought of my play.
