Old hand from Stars, some of you will probably recognise it.
Hold'em No Limit ($25/$50 USD)
Seat 1: Hero ($5025 in chips)
Seat 2: Villain ($5439.50 in chips)
Hero: posts small blind $25
Villain: posts big blind $50
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [T
4]
Hero: raises $100 to $150
Villain: calls $100
*** FLOP *** [9
5
K]
Villain: bets $250
Hero: raises $550 to $800
Villain: calls $550
*** TURN *** [9 5 K] [Q]
Villain: checks
Hero: bets $1050
Villain: calls $1050
*** RIVER *** [9 5 K Q] [K
]
Villain: checks
Hero: checks
Can't Hero already bluff with a bunch of gutters? Is he just punishing Villain for leading where he shouldn't?

Quote:
you can't raise all gutters (or your range would be too weak on gutshot completing cards after x/c), and only x/ring some of them would not be enough bluffs on this board, so taking some bdfds that can't call flop into your flop raising range seems like a good idea
e: sry, thought hero is x/raising flop, not raising a lead, but against balanced leading range same principle applies. Though I'm pretty sure that leading this board with this sizing is just plain bad.
