JJ 3/6 pure-bluff turn

mannika · #1 11-20-2005, 10:16 PM

Haven't posted or played 3/6 in about a month and a half.

No relevant reads here. I usually post hands like this thinking I'm clever, and almost always get proven wrong.

Also, I'm not quite sure what I do here if one of the first two limpers bets out on the turn. I chose not to bet out on the flop because of the low probability of taking it down uncontested, and because of what I thought was a large chance of getting c/r.

As a sidenote, in the 5 min I spent writing this, I have gotten trips 3 times on the same table and have all but bankrupted the rest of the table on 3 huge hands. Feels good to be back!

I really don't like where you went with this.

Bet the flop. This is a multiway pot, we dont want to give Ax free card here.

The turn raise is probably never folding a king, so whats the point? The turn card is not even close to scary enough.

I hate it.

The turn raise was not meant to fold out kings, at this point in the hand I didn't think anyone had kings. Would it have been better to just call the turn given this read?

Kx is checking this flop out of fear for the hard action, and never folding. Just bet the flop.

Because you are very likely ahead here. They all checked to you man, they probably don't have you beat but definitely have outs against you. What else are they going to do with nothing here?

Looks like a little bit of FPS. Just bet the flop you'll win money that way

Yeah, most of the stuff I end up posting ends up being FPS. Thanks for the responses guys, I'll try to keep it simpler from now on.

How is raising the turn a pure bluff? You bet the flop and you raise the turn for value.

So... where is the bluff?
