And also this. But I doubt many do it.

Id certainly never flat this deep with QQ and a lag image in 6 max. Could be because I suck or could be because im awesome and lolbalance.

When you have history flatting sometimes is definitely better.

I've discussed this a lot over the years and the thing is less balance than a balanced dynamic at the table. There are some tables where we are deep and I am often flatting a wide range. Other days/tables where I have no real flat range. It varies and as long as you recognize your image and why you choose your action you will be balanced enough

so calling makes your hand LOOK like a K **face up**
AK may be 50/50 3b or hood all other Kx just call KJ, KT etc.

The turn bet size is ok, I think slightly bigger reps bluff better and paralyzes non-nut hands +airball float i.e. A9o
same with river bet sizing ~40% looks blockish and you owned his soul. WP

If he wants to x/r wide for value, he is probably very unbalanced with turn river barrels.
mainly gives up a street, which why your bluff seems suicide.
I think he needs to balance better by setting up stronger spr's and shoving river with entire value range and air balls

curious if A9o has the stones to rejam vs more paralyzing bet sizes, i.e. >55% ott 55-60% otr

Probably not the best turn for him to continue firing with hands A9 beats.

Re: $162 6max making faces at the screen on the river

the only thing i learned from this thread is that you can show one card on poker stars and i got really sad

also i only skimmed but initial thought was you could raise river with kk+(prob AQ but it already seems thin and the q blocker doesnt help), but someone said you only rep sets. is that bad?

I don't think it's bad to rep sets in some specific spots when in some cases thats the only range they can realistically give you readless.

Re: $162 6max making faces at the screen on the river

I don't know guys, when you're repping too narrow of a value range your bluff range becomes a bigger % of your total range and villain SHOULD call more easily. As page up said, it will only work if villain thinks you're incapable of bluffing which would be odd considering you both are competent.

Re: $162 6max making faces at the screen on the river

Looks to me like you floated twice and then pounced on a weak rvr bet . Nothing wrong with that rly except it's not too great of a plan if you planned it ahead , more of an opportunist play
