Hand Against Random Taggy Dude
Villain is 22/15/2.3 after 4k hands with 35 WTSD. I don't think I get capped or donk much by this type of player on this board (right? wrong?). I intended to take the free river if I didn't pick up the flush draw. He also hesitated a good amount before calling my flop 3bet. Just to be clear, I do not 3bet for free cards with gutshots very often at all (I do have pair outs often).

Re: Hand Against Random Taggy Dude
bluffing the river when you've spewed on the previous streets is almost always right. i don't know why it's right but it seems to work a lot. you are making the pot so big then you are better off doing it. so i would've bet the river regardless.
also, this is not a board where i would've bluffed, and if i had, i'd usually raise the turn |

Re: Hand Against Random Taggy Dude
by "taking the free river" i meant not bet the turn. Sorry for not being clear. My questions were:
Is 3betting the flop against this sort of player ever proftiable? If I do which turns should I bet instead of check? Was this turn one of them? |

[/ QUOTE ] i didn't see the flush draw and my brain somehow skipped the "if i hadn't picked up a flush draw" part, so i saw "take the free river" as you bluffing if you didn/t river the nuts. i think if you 3-bet, it's with the intention to check the turn. he has a pair almost always and he's not folding it. |

Bluffing with the lock hand is really good for shania.

It's because each bet narrows your range a little more from the villain's perspective, if he has a small made hand, like 76 or something. If you give up half your bluffs after the turn, you're something like 2x as likely to have the villain beat on the river. You'd think this kind of matches the odds for the 2 bets he expects to put in when he calls the turn, but when he made that call (1) There was a possible chance of improvement (2) He knows he may not have to call the river From the villain's perspective, I used to think the whole call the turn/fold the river line was a 2+2 FPS invention, because it's an attempt to "dance between the raindrops" of probability. I thought that the bluffer's hand range does not converge fast enough between the turn and the river. But I was probably wrong, there's some pretty big space between those raindrops sometimes. |

Re: Hand Against Random Taggy Dude
Without some background on his flop-turn play in HU blind battles, I still take the free card on the turn. I don't think you take it down often enough with a turn bet after the flop action HU against the typical player with his stats in a pot this size.
I don't know what to make of the possible timing tell. Sometimes he's counting outs and putting you on a range; sometimes he's making a plan to see shodwon; sometimes he's considering a cap; sometimes he's watching a 3rd down play in the Denver game. FWIW, I think the flop is fine if this is a pretty rare event. I do this on the flop against the right players probably more often than I should, but not with any tremendous frequency. |
