Fair enough. But there is no way I'm raising the turn with a hand that can't call a 3-bet if you SNG me. More likely I'd just fold, unless I actually had a hand. That's why these games are tough. Anyways: ni han, sir.

That's the point. You're not raising there with a made, but vulnerable hand, but you might raise a draw (will probably just fold) and will of course raise with your good hands. No way for me to know what % of the time you have what, but that's life.

From this post, I don't understand why your plan was to bet/3-bet the turn. I don't think that's a good plan. I think bet/fold is a much better plan.

It's probably not. I think maybe I was thinking of bet/3-betting certain cards, and bet-folding other cards.

OK, I'd be curious to know which ones you would think might merit bet/3-bet. You can assume deeper stacks if you want, if you think it makes a difference. Like, do you think a flush card might be something that I might raise with a made hand but then give you credit for flush if you 3-bet? Or do you think an ace? Or a K?

If we were deep enough, board pairing spade would be fun to bet/3-bet. The problem with bet/3-betting an A is that I'm fully aware you are probably just calling with the NFD and TP on the turn here, precisely because a raise might induce a 3-bet (this is assuming we are deep). I'm also thinking that a bet/3-bet on an obvious straight making card could be good, because you now have some decent but not great made hands that you could lay down (say a middish two pair).

Yeah, seems like there was some left for the real game too.

You MUST bluff to win these 2+2 games, period.

This is very false. Do you see why? ABC poker will crush these games.

ABC will also usually get you flamed in the post-game wrap-up in threads like this. So, given that ABC is sort of against the rules, what do you think of the mandatory bluffing post?

No, I don't understand why. Pots are artifically inflated by weak hands, making big ones easier to steal.

Furthermore, everyone has PT, which makes it easy to fold when a 10% VPIPer comes into the pot.

I'm also not suggesting that the act of bluffing in itself creates a positive expectation. I'm saying that when you bluff a reasonable amount of time, opponents are going to be more willing to pay off hands, which should be obvious.
