    Wanting to get all the money in vs trips by the river VS the fact that I have no bluffs in this spot. Is this fine because its 2nl, or is this unacceptable at any stake??
    As i made the play I understood that this was pretty terrible concerning solid poker strategy, and ranges, but this is 2nl where the majority of played can't fold trips.

    Na don't worry about it, its fine, Vs balanced villains we need to be balanced but at 2nl, 5nl and 10nl don't worry because barely any villains will be balanced. If you have the best hand and think he will call just gii

    He bets 73% flop and 85% turn and you are IP. I would expect him to have a polarized range with lots of bluffs like KQ, QJ, maybe some KJ, and all the clubs with that sizing, so I'm probably calling turn and raising/betting OTR

    You're definitely correct, although this extends to extremely exploitative poker, where I have a total of 0 bluffs, and 100% value (Full houses). Definitely an interesting situation (extremely exploitative poker VS fish).

    Yeh, this makes sense, only thing is, I'm not sure all players at this stake understand using blockers to bluff (do they??) - which would obviously restrict bluff combo's (then again you could argue that he could be using any old hand as a random bluff). Also, most even slightly competent players understand that these spots (top card pairing) are not good cards to bluff.

    I see no real issue with this as the villains you are going to be doing this against are not going to notice or be able to adapt. You will stack them most the time and then they leave anyway.

    You can raise more on turn, ~$1.30. Villain will call with AK,AQ,TT,99. If you think he folds his Ax hands too often you can bluff turn with some combos of QJs,87s

    If you want to be balanced here you should have 30% bluffs.
    Your range here for value is TdTh,TdTs,ThTs,9c9d,9c9h,9d9h,AdTd,AsTs,Ac9c,Ad9d, 10 combos
    You should bluff with 3 combos to be balanced.
    The best bluffs are Jc9c,8c9c and 7c9c. These block 99 and have about 18% equity against trip aces.

    You should also shove all your hands on the river taking this line (unless the river is another ace).
