Default Re: out of line?

i didn't read the entire info, didn't realize button opened to 50... Has he been opening a lot with junk?

I just don't see the reason for the play. Let him steal the blinds, attack him when your in position.

What do you think Villans puts you on when you check the flop and turn? Does a made hand really check twice after the preflop action?

Your bluff on the river pretty much only beats a busted draw unless villan is terrible. He's getting 3-1 to call and your play reaks of a turn steal semi bluff that didn't get there.

I just don't see the point of this post. What do you hope to gain for future play? I would just remove the calling of large opens with marginal holdings in the blinds from my game. There are just better ways to take down these clowns.

fair enough, but given villain's line what holdings of his look me up given my action?

i guess the jist of my post is wanting to know how often i can get away with these types of plays, repping a FH, flush, J, K, making it difficult for anything short of AK to call me. it looks maniacal, but what hands look me up here? think of it from villain's perspective.

maybe i am insane.

You need more of a stack to pull off these bluffs, plus it's a hell of a lot easier when you are in position as the aggressor, the seed of doubt is already planted. You are going to get slaughtered entering large pots out of position not as the aggressor.

What are you reppin with your line that checks twice?

To me it seemed that you entered this pot without a plan and tried to back pedal into one without giving consideration to stack sizes, or image until villans weak bet on the turn. When a Laggy villan like this is super aggressive preflop and then slows down to a halt after the flop even though hero checked twice, something smells.
