Hand 2

Villain 33/16 49 hands

Against this particular villain I probably shouldn't be bluffing all that much, and his river sizing is quite large, but what the hell.

I think hand 1 is fine. You have good blockers and you can get him to fold better hands.
Prefer folding hand 2 because I dont like bluffing fish for this size

H1: You have a decent bluff catcher, you don't really block any full houses just flushes, but honestly vs population I would just fold and be happy about it the only bluff villain is going to turn up with is probably KsJx, maybe KxJs, people don't really bluff that river often enough in my experience.

H2: Probably just fold flop, you having the Kh here is bad, you're blocking bluffs. As played I guess river is fine, blocking his nutted range. just make sure to call flush draws ott some times. Also you tend not to get a lot of value of 4 card flushes so you won't be getting much value.

Don't let fps affect your game too much.

I like being able to put max pressure on a T in hand 1 though

Both bluffs look theoretically decent but practically suicidal.

Uf-Oh, that play's bro are way out of line , and thats so manic aggro.. in frist hand there was no value , in second hand with your KK that play is over risky in term of your values

H1) Does he fold 61% of his range in hand 1?
Seems unlikely. Also his sizing otr is big...Almost too big to be a Tx. Id like the river bluff much more vs. a smaller size.
It seems here that hes more polarised than just trips and it makes the bluff pretty bad imo.


H2) Again Bluff is theoretically sound. But its just not good vs narrow ranges. His range otr is basically flushes with maaaaybe some combos of bluffs. He needs to fold 2/3s of his range otr and I sincerely dont expect someone who leads to us on A high board SB vs. UTG to fold a flush otr...

I'm not going for value in hand 1, i'm trying to put pressure on Tx

I don't know if there's so much difference between .com and .it, but where I play you don't really want to test villains' folding skill when they have at least trips.
