Hello,

When it comes to barreling the river in particular, I get a bit confused. Let's say that all our bluffs have 0% equity against our opponents range then how do I determine what hands to bluff with. I cannot obviously bluff all my turn range that gets to the river because then I will be over-bluffing, so therfore I need to handpick a certain amount(I know the amount).

Example, we RFI utg big blind calls (100bbs deep~)
Runnout Jh 6d 2h Ts 6s
Roughly what hands we get to river with(bluffing range)
AhKh, AhQh, Ah9h, Ah8h, Ah5h, Ah4h, Ah3h, Ad2d, AhKc, AhKd, AhKs, AhQc, AhQd, AhQs, KhQh, KdQd, Kh9h, KhQc, KhQd, KhQs, Qh9h, Th9h, Td9d, 9h8h, 9d8d, 8h7h

I'm thinking we should use our broadway hands since they block potential top pair combos but I've been told that we should bet the bottom of our range.

TLDR: My question is what hands do we pick to bluff with on the river if all our bluffs have 0% equity?

Hands that block villain's value range are better bluffing hands. But it isn't just about your cards, there are other important factors:

- How likely is it that villain has a strong hand in this board?
- Do I have strong hands in my range given the runout?

A board like J62T6r is actually not a good board to bluff because the range of strong hands you can represent is very narrow. And if you raise from early position, for example, you can't represent any 6x hands. A villain who calls your raise pre can actually have the range advantage on that board.
