live hand range question live hand range question

25/50 Borgata, 4-5 handed game (can't remember exact specifics).

BTN and SB are both young aggressive regs who are active but not crazy. Generally play very tight when the game is FR but definitely open up (as they should) when game is shorter. I get the impression that BTN is kind of sticky in position in shorthanded pots as well.

Effective stacks ~8k or so. I might get some of the bet numbers wrong but they won't be too off.

Preflop (75): folds to BTN who opens to 150, SB 3bets to 475, BB folds, BTN calls.
Flop (1000): KQ2 SB bets 650, BTN calls.
Turn (2300): 2 SB bets 1175, BTN calls.
River (4650): J SB bets 2950, BTN tanks for a while and calls.

What is SB's value and bluffing range here on this board and what should BTN's calling range be? I will give results later but I was a little surprised by the showdown.

according to cardrunners EV, the bettor should be bluffing 27.9 percent of the time, thus making the caller indifferent between calling and folding. in this utopian scenario, only the casino and taylor caby make money, and the prole fight among each other for comps and uncashed slot machine stubs.

Know the results so I can't really comment, was a sick hand though.

SB's value range, house and A high flush, and probably bluffs almost everytime he dosnt have it.
BTN's callig range is tricky, and I really couldnt speculate, would obv call with house/ ace high flush, and if I had a spade that isnt Ace I would most likely fold, unless I got the feeling SB was bluffing and would call with any spade, and AA/AK without a spade.

live poker is all about raw instinct, soul reads and james bond moves so prob best to not bother with ranges

I was in a casino in Vienna,couple of years ago and saw this gentleman who, was for sure working for MI5,playing poker.His soul reads and James Bond moves made me believe that he is actually 007.Probabilty of a terrorist attack made me nervous but 007 was there.So,there was no need to worry.Then i saw the cameras recording the game.

Turns out,he was Mr. Cates.
