I'd say he's more representing an Ace or two pair. I doubt Villain folds Aces up.

playing three handed i think his range of possible holdings here is WAY wider then aces up.
i really like the delayed semi-bluff when playing shorthanded in position.

the real question you need to ask is will this player fold A9 in this spot not whether he'll fold aces up.

you also have to realize alot of the time you're Q is good here.

I bluff a lot, but hardly ever on a situation like this..
how do you know that he doesnt have a very good hand himself.. or maybe he's a maniac that calls with AK.

But then again.. maybe that's why I still can't beat 10/20.. people run over me so easy.. at 5/10 you don't ever see this kind of play.. I don't know when to identify situations when bluffing like this would be ok.

this is what i was thinking about in the game. turned out my opponent had AJ and called pretty quick. was happy with my read about what he had, not sure how he can call there. but ultimately, i did just about get stacked there.

[/ QUOTE ] I think SB vs BB people look you up a lot easier.

edit: one more comment, if 7 added 2suit villain is more likely to look you up as you can have pair (or gut) + flush draw now.

he probably looked you up since board is pretty dry and he figured you'd flatcall the turn bet with good hands and commit on river with position.

Did the turn card put a flush draw on the board or was it rainbow? A lot of players in that game will jam the turn when it adds a flush draw to their pair.

i suppose you guys are all exactly right on this one. the turn did put a flush draw up there, the villan was an unknown, if he had known me he would have folded. i figured he was a good tight regular player cause of how he joined the table (waiting for that shorstack to sit), it's tough to call whole stack with just top pair.
