Also as an aside, I know you play way higher stakes, but what limits are you playing these days?
once you set up templates for sizes and store ranges, it's really not hard at all - very plug and play. i guess it's a bit of an art narrowing down the game tree to what's most useful for your specific situation, but not terribly complicated imo.

heh ahh i only play 1/2, but i appreciate the confidence not to get too real but i've had pretty bad addiction issues my entire adult life and have never been able to put in more than 15hrs/week, which obviously makes it pretty hard to build a roll. BUT! i just went sober 3 weeks ago for the first time ever, and it's felt, just... indescribably good for me, so i'm feeling really hopeful about my poker future for the first time in a long time. fingers crossed!

I can use the COvsBB 25z Good Bluff Combo?: or COvsBB 25z Good Bluff Combo? to represent flush draws on good rivers. (Especially high cards of that suit that severely cut down on combos)

But I don’t want both suits in my hand because:

1) if I bluff on nearly 50% of rivers I’m way overbluffing so the suit is a good randomizer.

2) I still want to unblock some FDs to weaken his range, by just continuing with either a COvsBB 25z Good Bluff Combo?: or a COvsBB 25z Good Bluff Combo? but not both a COvsBB 25z Good Bluff Combo?: and a COvsBB 25z Good Bluff Combo? I can effectively bluff some runouts while also keeping his range wider with blockers.

Thoughts?
I think the problem you're having is thinking that in every spot you need to have some portion of your range that is a bluff. There will be some runouts where that's not going to be the case, and that's okay. The only thing you need to be concerned about is whether or not continuing with this part of your range is +ev. There may be times where villains range is such that we fold 100%, that doesn't mean we get exploited, it means that we have opportunities on early streets or different runouts where they are clearly exploitable.

This is a cool concept. I usually learn better with examples so I’ll try to come up with one.

BTN opens 3xBB with a hand, BB calls.

Flop comes QJTr

BTN cbets 1PSB (6BB) BB calls.

Turn is 6o (No BDFD)- 18BB pot

BTN bets 2xpot - BB calls.

River is 5o - (90BB pot) BTN bets 10xpot AI.

Assume we are 1000BBs deep and BB always 3bets AK.

We are always folding this river 100% of the time but that’s okay?

You would take the highest ev play, which in some situations will be folding (0ev).
