I'm in a game I've spent probably an hour in at this point. I've played few hands, and a lot of the time I've been out playing in another table with worse players that was easier. This table happened to have better people.
There's one guy, the villain who I'm interested in. He's playing very wild. Very aggressive and going down the board trying to out read people. And doing ok at this point anyway. It's worth noting that he's not totally nuts; I have seen him get off hands and there is reason to his decision making. He's just very loose aggressive.

I come in and I see the blinds I've been forced to put in and I think that he's probably going to call. So I min raise. Fishy, yes, but still a raise. I follow this up on the next street. I can tell by the way he's playing that he's calling me down to figure my play down the board, I've watched him do this to other people. This makes me suspect that he's getting very reactive to my play, so I figure levelling might work. I plan to get it all in on the turn and river, because I've repped strong so far, and my read is that this guy is basically betting that he'll figure out what I have down the board, so I plan to get it in on the turn and river. A third heart falls and instead I shove his bet, repping like I'm protecting equity.

Question: Do you think, all things considered, my read on his place, his getting down the line, his wide starting range, my image as being very tight here and having shown strength on two streets beore the turn; Was this a good bluff?

Everything about your preflop play is terrible here tbh.

why?
Also, what about post flop

The complete-reraise line just looks incredibly fishy, you're not repping much. On top of that your sizing is far too small. Postlfop is just a continuation of preflop, more spewy fps.

If you've just started playing and it's your intention to get better you should concentrate on the fundamentals and playing good solid poker. However disregard all of the above if you just like to play for fun now and again.

Misplayed every street.

how would you have played it? What could I have done that would have made it better as a bluff

Raise preflop, cbet flop, possibly barrel (I like barreling here) or check back turn and don't bet unless you improve on the river would be the standard line.


The problem with your line is it's incredibly spewy - a lot of the time this is just burning money.

That's what I'll do from now on then, spesh moving up. Felt I had a good read in this situation, but none the less I'll take your guys advice.

Thank you for the feedback, fellas.

Say I 3x Pre after originally checking and then triple barrel after that; is that more of a standard line/better EV?

If you mean opening instead of checking, then yes.

Yes.

I wouldn't set out with the plan that you're going to open and then triple barrel no matter what though.

OP, it seems like you have made a lot of assumptions about villain's thought process, none of which is verifiable. The hand seems like FPS to me. Being tricky and getting into leveling wars are not the way to beat nano stakes. Just play solid ranges, valuebet well and fold when you face resistance from non-aggro players. Most people are passive and call too much so bluff-raising multiple streets seems like a great way to go broke.
