Hi all,

What's your opinion on this bluff? Good line or just spew?

No reads unfortunately.

If you could also let me know how you perceive villain's and hero's range at street that would really help my thought process as well.

Thanks

    Imo it's just spew

    I dont like preflop unless having a read that hes calling 3B w a wider standard range, and another read saying that he's positional unawareness

    I would fold KQo from the small blind against an early raiser, especially an unknown. A lot of their continuing range will have you dominated and the hand can be hard to play out of position both if you hit and if you miss.
    On the flop I would x/f, he will continue here with too many hands. Same with the turn, there aren't enough hands that he will fold here that didn't on the flop.
    I like the decision to shove the river though. Although you don't rep much value apart from AA and like 2/3 combos of Asxs you definitely have those in your range and you won't have too many bluffs here (it's a shame you have the Ks but it probably doesn't really matter). He'll have fold hands like 77/78s/67s and it'll be a tough call for TT-QQ. He probably doesn't have a set, they would normally raise and you should have more combos of Ax than him.

    X/f turn. A otr looks interesting at first sight but how many Ax do you really have? Maybe AJss+.

    His range on the river is pretty strong. Some 2nl players might even show up with suited Ax here. You also block KK,QQ so I don't think you are folding out much when you jam. Maybe JJ? Also when you actually have a hand like AQs, AKs are you going to over jam here for value. If not your value range is just AA

    I definitely wouldn't recommend triple barrels with air at 2nl. You can beat this stake pretty hard only semi-bluffing(good combo draws), in conjunction with your very strong hands.

    pre flop this is a fold for me, stick to 3 bet bluffing with A5s and maybe a suited connector or two vs ep

    If you're not mixing in AQ / AK as a bluff on turn and river you're 3betting too wide IMO

    Without reads this is def spew

    Folding preflop is perfectly acceptable. Given the preflop action and board texture, you played this in such an unconventional way, and emptying the clip here with zero reads is a great way to burn money. OFC this can be a profitable play against certain villains but in this situation, at NL2, it's completely unnecessary.

    Was already said before, but try to reduce the no equity bluffs, you don't need them in most cases to be a winner at low limits where some people are just in love the call button.

    I get suspicious when Vs take this line on runouts like this. You're repping A9s, which I don't think you would bet that much ott, 98s, AsXs. If you were betting JJ-KK like this are you really smashing the river? Those would be my thoughts if I'm V anyway and probably call with whatever pair I arrived at the river this way.

    FWIW there are 2 hands you beat here, but, largely this is just SPF that can be avoided despite the fact it probably works against certain V types.

    You are gonna get called here by tt-qq a lot here at these stakes and just feel stupid.
