Unknown villain

Not a spot/board that comes up very often, villain probably doesn't play quads this way, but would have had to have floated flop with something random then decided to start bluffing, i can take out QQ-AA, and JJ most of the time.

Depends how often he is doing this with other pocket pairs but i feel like a hand like 55 that might raise turn for some protection will probably check river. This feels quite close to me.

I'm not playing at NL25 but:
- T card probably reduce bluffs in his range, so I think he has more often some pp,
- what is his 3b range? If its standard like 3-4% from BB so I dont fell good with 77 in this spot. Beside sizing is on upper side. T for me is c or f and I fold 100% R vs such a bet.

What do you think abut keep bet sizing on the turn 1/3 PSB?

Only got 2 hands on him but his range should still be quite wide after he calls BB then calls a 40% flop bet. OTT i think if i go 1/3 again i might get double floated with a lot of overcard hands whereas if i go too big i might isolate myself against better so i think my sizing is ok.

It's just odd because this isn't a situation where villain will have any natural bluffs, so I'm likely to just give him credit OTT and fold to the raise AP. Don't think I am cbetting turn though.

BB has the most combos of Tx vs any other position so even though it is unlikely, it’s more likely in this situation vs any other.

Fold turn, but I can see myself misplaying this hand in game.

Also we just call AA-JJ I think we will be fine, 77 isn’t even that high up in our range.

Turn bet is good I think because it denies equity + gets value from lower pairs. If you check you are still calling a river bet so b/f turn serves a multi-purpose.

1) We get to deny equity since there are no good rivers for us
2) We get value from worse
3) If we are behind, we either fold to the turn XR or check back river. For this reason I probably size <50% PSB OTT since we have way less quad combos then Villain.

He might have hit river with some spewy Kx bluffing. Vs that size I'd fold river anyway, your turn call is really strong, he'd probably give up air most of the time.

I would bet turn smaller ~$0.90 since your range is targeting his pocket pairs. Turn might be close but river is a clear fold.

Ok, we picked off a bluff this time at least but wanted to double check, think people are right he should be more value heavy on riv after i call turn

What are the good holdings for bluff on this T? 2 overs? Ax?

Probably 2 overs because they have the best chance to improve to a winning hand, and have the least SDV. I don't think many people are getting to SD here without a boat.

Bluff frequencies should be lower though because people hate folding boats.
