What do you think guys about this call? Note that this is PKO where people bluff ALL THE TIME.

Raise flop imo...if you whiff otf raise turn.

As played can't really fold bot set w bdf blocker.

^^^right, should have raised that turn!

I prefer to flat flop on this dry of a flop with a player left to act. No real equity to deny.

I do agree with turn raise. And yeah as played calling.

thanks guys, the showdown revealed that V indeed bluffed with KJo, one of them was clubs.

Eric, dude, why do you want to raise otf?

He probably wants to raise 22 here because we'll have some 45s type bluffs that will also want to raise here and triple off. I think I also flat the flop here with a player behind and x/r (or maybe even lead??) turn depending on action/specific turn.

I think flatting a hand like 45s with the intention of bluffing later streets is a better play. I'd rather flat my entire continuing range on a flop this dry which helps protect our medium strength hands and allows us to get more value on later streets with our premium hands if Villains pick up more equity.

In general bottom set is one of ur best combos to raise bc you unblock all the value hands and draws* that will continue. You also want to build the pot etc.

* not applicable on this board obv

It def would be better to raise UTG's cbet (stronger, uncapped range) as opposed to MP's stab but I would raise at a high freq vs either. If u think UTG will overcall or if u think MP's range is wide then slowplaying flop is ok at a low freq.

Would raise turn close to 100% freq tho...54 picks up a double gutter...some flop stabs pick up a bdfd and 8c is an undercard to a Q (Qx will be the majority of MP's value range.) If u make it 27k ott you'll have a PSB to shove otr.
