hero and villain stack : 100bb

hero(BB) : JsTd
villain(SB) : ??

pre flop : sb raises to 3bb, hero calls

flop(6bb) : 2h 3s Jd
sb bets 3bb, hero calls

turn(12bb) : Qd
sb bets 8bb, hero calls

river(28bb) : As
sb bets 19bb, hero raises to 40bb, sb folds.

ott, I'm not sure whether I should call that or not .
and otr, with A Q J, I think pair of J has so showdown value anymore compare to the villain's range, so I represent straight(KT) with blocker Td,
but, I'm now thinking that villain has more Kings than I have, so I think this is over bluff..
Should I had to fold otr?

any comments will be helpful.

thank you in advance.

The only error I see in this hand is the river raise size. Our value hands (KT, potentially some rivered 2p) want to jam, so our bluffs should also jam.

This seems like a very reasonable candidate to turn into a bluffjam. We block KT, we block JJ, we block AJ, and our Jx functions as a pure catcher otr vs the triple. Turn seems pretty mandatory call to me with a hand this strong vs these sizes. With that said, there are a lot of hands with kind of similar properties (KJ, QT, KQ, maybe even K3s K2s) and we don't river that many strong hands, so it's good you're aware of that and worried about overbluffing. How you want to pick which to bluff, which to call, which to fold is kind of up to you.

Well what did he have ?
He raised pre flop then he cbet the flop on the turn he did not appear to be affaird of the queen.
I am probably putting him on AQ and folding my 3rd high pair.

I think the decision is fold call or shove.

My value shove range is exclusively straights.

I raise flop sometimes with 54s. I muck 54o pre.

I raise turn with some 54s and KT combos.

I get to this river with far fewer made straights than the 20 available combos on the river.

So for me, including all my JT(12 combo) would have my bluff combos too close to 1:1 ratio to my value hands.

I didnt do the math for this exact potsize but correct bluffs on my ~10 combo river shove value range is probably 3 to 5 combos. Thus I selectively bluff with blockers very infrequently facing this river bet. I probably dont enough compared to the solution, but it serves me in my games to err on the less bluffy side.

Exploitative take: at the micros, someone usually has an ace and they rarely fold top pair. This is not a bluff spot.

Microstakes "fun" players absolutely love to play any ace and almost never fold big pairs. When you see an ace-high board, expect one of your opponents to have it. Against better players you can try to represent the certain hands, but in the micros you're often going throw away money with that kind of bluff. Your opponents probably aren't thinking about your range, only their own actual hand.

Bad bluff boards in the micros are any A-high or two-broadway boards. Good bluff boards (if you must bluff at all) are dry, unconnected flops that everyone likely missed. If you get to a river, the opponent has often already decided they are going all the way, so bluffing is counterproductive.

I'm happy that it worked for you this time.
