Take down the tone a notch all. Everybody Love Everybody.

Are you bluffing on the turn or is this for value?

You ran a big bluff and won, why wouldn't you be proud of it? And no I'm no jealous. Why would I be?

No, it's not scared poker if I'm not willing to bluff an unknown with a 400 bb stack. It's smart poker.

I told you why it was a bad shove - he's an unknown. We do these things when we're confident his range isn't strong but this guy showed you the complete opposite with a big c/r otf vs multiple opponents, and "two short sessions" isn't really enough history to know him too well.

In-game, I honestly didn't know. Holding 88, V wasn't likely betting pot with the nuts (89) so it felt more bluffy than value. I figured jamming would knock out any soft 10 and at the same time gain value vs naked flush draws. I also liked the fact I still had several outs to the absolute nuts, plus a possibility of others due to counterfeiting.

Hands we're crushed against are only 66 and 44. That's four total combinations. I didn't know exact odds vs 64 at the time, but knew if that's what V had I would still be pretty live. I know 35s gets there but I just couldn't range V to play this hand. So I figured since the 7 didn't help him and I don't know what cards I'm check-calling river when I don't improve, it was better to get it in now to possibly gain some fold equity.

I know some people here think that two sessions isn't enough to really know an opponent, but I disagree with this statement entirely. I had seen V bluff and lose enough hands to at least know he was capable of having air here. IMO after my flop call, I'm pretty much committed and it's now a question whether I should ch/c, ch/c or get it in now.

It wasn't a bluff and results don't matter. You really need to take a step back and think before responding

Again not a bluff and if you're not willing to sit with the max and GII with small edges against perceived bad opponents, then yes it is scared poker. I find it ironic that I'm explaining this to you as your screenname is "PlayBig". [/QUOTE]

He is not an unknown. Just because I don't have years of experience vs a V doesn't mean I can't range him and make logical assumptions based on his current play. Have you ever played a poker tournament or sat down at a casino RG full of unknowns and made adjustments per that session? C'mon bro. Saying a shove is bad because we don't have enough experience with V is straight up trash and a copout. Be better.

Too much heat, not enough light. Going to lock this up.
