1) I thought it was unlikely he'd check a Q otr after taking the fishy line of ck/call/lead on a turn which isn't necessarily better for his range than mine.
result- I get slow rolled as he tank/calls w/ QTo. Must've been afraid of KQ
2) I think this hands meets the criteria to bluff shove pretty well. Close to the top of my folding range with debatably best blockers. I think a tougher question is what do we do with KQs? I'm not sure if it's good enough to call down, and has similar blocking effects as JTs.
result- he folds
3) I'm not too suspicious of a flop ck on this board vs a sb-btn 3b range. I think he'll have a lot of pairs 44-TT, weak Jxs. Otr i'll have about 22 value combos (AJs/AJ/65s/33/22), so I think KQ makes a logical 3 barrel blocking his best 3 street ck/calls. With all of the offsuit KQ combos available I'd need to be careful about over bluffing, but in practice IMO it's fine to overbluff this spot because people don't protect their range enough/call down the correct %
also, I never included sb's stack size but it was about an 80% pot shove, not an overbet
result- he folds
4) Preflop the limpers are generally the type to always limp->weak and raise->strong. I thought with the straddle they were playing overly weak/scared money, so I decided to get greedy with this hand. I agree this is very out of line and most of time I'd just complete
Otf I think denying equity isn't worth putting money in vs a calling range I do poorly against with two streets left to play oop when I have plenty of other hands I'd rather bet/potentially barrell with eg. 54/65/87/JT+bdfd, etc.
When the 5h turn comes there are a lot of rivers A4s/99 don't want to see, so I think developing a turn ck/jamming range makes sense. 43s seemed like a good choice because it blocks both 33/A4 and would be pretty low in the turn ck/call range.
result- he folds. A few hands later I'm in a 3b pot with AA on 976K and he ck/jams turn, I call. River 8 and he says you're good before I even table....So looks I was bluffing with implied spew odds w/ the 43s
