Bluff Catch in Limped Pot

Villain is loose bad, running around 65/15 over a couple hundred hands. I have notes that he misses value post, is induce-able, and peels lightly. He might lawl check a hand like JT on the flop, but I doubt he is checking back the turn with any monsters.

My plan on the flop was to just Ch/Call down and try to induce bluffs on the flop. I was just going to fold this turn. As played, I'm not sure if I should bluff catch this river. Thoughts on any street welcome.

Well played. Call river. I think you're going to lose hand more often than not, but only have to win it less than a quarter of the time for a call to be good.

Re: Bluff Catch in Limped Pot

I would bet/fold the river. Villain's range consists mostly of nothing/Kx/Qx/Jx. It's very random imo what he does with nothing. Most of these guys will call with a Q and sometimes a J though. So I'd rather take the sure value without a read. If the player was more passive pf checking goes up in value as he's more likely to have Ax, which may give us a free showdown.

I would not have folded this turn either to a bet. We still have a lot of equity vs his pf range on this turn. I don't think we can rule out a sufficent number of bluffs to fold.

I would have x/r the flop with this hand on the flop, bet the turn and c/f the river.
As played I would have called the river. I feel icky doing it but I think we would be good enough of the time to make a profit on the river against this type of villian.

Could you explain why you want to check/raise the flop?

Re: Bluff Catch in Limped Pot

sorry dude, only just seen your post

I tend to x/r most of my pair from the BB on the flop. Villain has Js, Ts and As in his BTN opening range but thats a small part of his range and I want to find out where I stand. Actaully looking at the villains range and looking at stove I may opt for just a call now. Um yeah definatly just calling. thank you for making me examine my anwser I think I just learnt alot from this hand
