Possible to semi-bluff a loosey?
This guy's stats were 80VPIP 20PFR 31WSD 40 W$SD over 70 hands. His min-raise did not concern me much before the flop as his stats indicate he would raise with any playable hand preflop. Super-loose, never folded any draw but had good river sense calling bets.

Final Pot: $173 I didn't put him on a King when he called my turn bet, was the bet wise? should it have been more? I wanted to price myself in to draw. |

Re: Possible to semi-bluff a loosey?
given your read on the villain i dont mind the preflop and flop call at all. the turn bet was really nice given the effect that he smoothe called and gave the right price to draw. i really dont like that river bet, i think u have to bet more if u r sure u can move him off his hand something like 2/3 pot or pot. but with your turn play i dont see how u r gonna make him laydown, i may just have had 1 too many of my river plays called down but, when i price myself in on my draws and miss i just usually cry uncle the pot isnt anything to go crazy over. but if u do plan on trying to pick it up on the river i think u have to show more strength on the turn.

Just because the guy raises a lot doesn't mean that his re-raising standards are loose or that you should donk it up post-flop.

Re: Possible to semi-bluff a loosey?
even if he has tight 3-betting standards I'm drawing dead to one hand, pocket kings. I wanted him to raise the turn with a king to narrow down his range so I can know exactly what my outs are.
How exactly is my play donk-ish? |

I'm drawing dead to one hand, pocket kings [/ QUOTE ] or 44, or jj, or kj, or k4... I like your turn bet, but think you should have checked behind on the river... a small river bet won't fold him... if you have a tight image, maybe a pot sized bet could've stole it, but not a $20 bet... I hope for your sake his cr was a bluff |

Re: Possible to semi-bluff a loosey?
they were saying that if the villian's raising standards are tight I would be in trouble. Firstly, they are not (look at the PT stats in the OP), secondly, of the range of hands you listed, a tight raiser would only have KK or JJ which I am in trouble against.

Would you have played as strong if the Jack hadn't come on the turn?
It seems like once your semi-bluff failed that Jack actually hurt you by inticing you to put more $$ in the pot. |

Re: Possible to semi-bluff a loosey?
my plan was to lead any turn card. I wanted to represent the king or at least a made hand of sorts (or if he had the king know where I stood on my outs). Because he flatcalled the turn I felt that I might even have pair outs.
