Even if he was bluffing with 0/1 diamond, it is a profitable spot to triple barrel as a bluff and we just call down with the nut. obv he is betting with Kx as well.
On 7,4 i could bluff him off repping trips ...and on K turn, maybe i can call more after judging his betting size. I don't expect ave villain playing $30 is triple barreling when K is turn. (unless he is aggro, probably one of regs in that case). A is obv good for us.
Problem is for other turns..esp. when turn is 8-Q. If he was bluffing, this 5 cards helps his bluffing range(?). 89,8T, QT who decided to bluff with straight draws/backdoor equity. I don't think I can bluff well on those turns and will have trouble calling him once more and fold to river bet...but i think im giving up too much equity
. He could easily bettinig his pair for value when he hits turn and I am not even sure what i can do when he checks on those turns/rivers caz it is possible that he stopped bluffing once he hit a pair..and I have showdown value lol. will be confused. any thoughts on this part?
I think it is better to flat his minraise with J9dd or 8d3d type hands that has backdoor straight draws and blocks some of his bluffing range. we are not really using that fact that we have A high fd since we can actually bluff him off once A hits ott..
