I don't understand your play in either of these hands. Both look pretty ugly to me.

What don't you understand? If I am going to C/R the turn, a certain % of those are going to be bluffs. I'm merely posting the bluffs.

I probably just give up on the turn in hand 1, in hand 2 I can't believe he folded for $300 into a 1.4k pot unless he was on clubs too but then that's a really bad turn call. Turn bet is too committing.

Hand 1, you raise utg and fire c bet on A T 4r. Mixing your c/r (bluffs) is good and all, but when the K peels, what do you think he has to bet the turn, and what are you representing?

It's ugly because your line doesnt really make sense. I can't think of a standard hand (that is strong!) that would c/r over just bet again, and weaker hands that want to showdown generally c/c. SO... It doesnt make sense.

If he called to take away, or has a weak ace, I can see him folding, but alot of times a weak ace (like suited ace or broadway w/ a gutshot) checks behind the turn and vbets riv or snaps off a bluff on your part. So, for him to bet the turn, I think he either has nothing (and was calling to bluff) or has a hand that can handle a c/r. (IE he hit a gutshot, or more likely, 2pair.)

So thats why I think hand 1 is ug.

Hand 2 the c/r is more believable of a big hand, and leaving money on the end lets you make him fold missed draws he felt obligated to call your turn raise w/. So I dont think 2 is that ugly.

Your logic is flawed.

If it is illogical for someone to C/R the turn with a strong hand, why would any sort of gutshot playing position or weak ace ever check behind on the turn and risk losing the pot?

Note: I don't agree with your original argument either.

I don't understand your small bluff amount in hand 1 if you are not going to follow through.

I don't understand leaving yourself $300 in hand 2 to stick into a $1400 pot on the river.

Of course you should bluff sometimes. Yours just don't make much sense to me is all. What made hands would you play like this? What hands do you put your opponent on?

No, my logic wasn't flawed, it was possibly the presentation which was skewed. I meant, if villain has a suited ace or a big ace, either of which is one pair, sometimes with a gutshot, they check behind your check. If they DO bet, they DO fold to a c/r, but they MAINLY check. This means you wont have the opportunity to make them fold their marginal/weak hand.

What is my original argument? Only that your line doesnt make sense for a strong hand, which is what I imagine you're trying to convey with Jack high!

Reason a 1pair hand checks behind there is simple pot control, plus to get people with jack high to fire bluffs on the river.

Or, they can be fancy, bet the turn, thinkingyou'll c/r bluff with jack high, then call twice.
