At nl2 i never try to bluff,only c bet and am done.I mean your hand's equity vs a range of opponent's hands.
Suppose you are button and pick up K
K
,UTG nit 11/11 open x3bb.All folds and action to you,If he dont understand the position he will open 11% Independent position.Your hand is way better from hands that he open,KK vs 11%=73-26.So you must reraise him for value,you both 100bb and blinds fold to your 3 bet 9xbb.Now UTG flat call you and flop came A
2
Q
Now if he 4 bet AA,KK, call with QQ,JJ,AK and fold all the other hand your KK crushed.You had 73% equity pre flop and now you have 9%.You must fold,If you c bet its as a bluff cos nothink worst call my.I know KK its sexy but next hand waiting for you!
