He was re-raising quite often PF, hence the AQ limp.

Discuss.

Well you'd certainly call a reraise pf, wouldn't you? You could even pop him back if he reraises.

I definitely pop him on the turn. Since you didn't, the river call is auto imo.

I don't think brimstone's decisions on the turn or river are remotely interesting. I got him to post this hand because it illustrates a situation where there are cards that may come on the turn which can allow one to continue bluffing, but with considerably more force.

Oh yeah, I'm just waiting for him to raise it PF here so I can go ahead and re-raise.

The flop call is automatic, and the rest just unfoiled. I didn't even consider the 8 as a dangerous card, so I insta-called his river bet here.

I won't reveal my top-secret "how to pwn unarmed HU" strategy, but I'd play the turn and river the same way. The other 2 streets are a different story.

Is it? I'm reraising this flop at least some of the time.

He's going to call the flop raise, and check to us on the turn, I think it lowers the value of our hand here.

Actually, you'd just be raising, as I would.

Why exactly would he be calling a flop raise with just two overs, unless you made a donk minraise.

Most any decent raise takes this down on flop or turn, period
