I jammed all in on the river because I wasn't really paying attention and was just like "oh straight, that's pretty good". I don't think I mind the flop x/r as I want to try and get another card, I don't have the odds to call, and I can represent 77s, and the odd 2pair. I am not sure quite how much to be running this bluff, but I don't tend to do this often so I figured it wouldn't be bad.
OTT obviously I am leading out, although I am not sure what I am bluffing with here. Maybe some random J7 that is now behind? Maybe some odd backdoor fd that I bluffed with, or some other gutshot? Am I still betting 77s here? Maybe I should lower the bet-size as my range is probably very value-heavy? I do not see myself x/r 8s otf, so I can't see myself having many bluffs here at all.
When he then raises over the top I should now be quite vigilant that he probably has me beat a fair portion of the time. KT is probably continuing otf a fair bit, and although he could have a lot of sets and some A high fds (say AsJs, and AsTs maybe?) he is quite value heavy. I feel at these stakes he almost certainly has my straight beat.
OTR I just donk jammed all in because I had just folded like 200 hands in a row before this and was playing for 'fun', not really paying much attention. Obviously it is bad and I am just overvaluing my hand. The only hands I beat are some random flushdraws that probably don't even float otf. Even his sets now make houses and I am just lighting money on fire. I imagine that even vs a GTO bot this would be a x/f otr, yes? As a pool exploit it is most certainly. How small a bet would I be able to call here (of course assuming I should even make it to the river in this line)?
It just feels weird folding straights when you try so hard to hit them, but I think I always overvalue them and should probably look to fold them a lot more often. If someone calls down all your raises, and even shows aggression themselves, a straight probably isn't even ahead of their range anymore, right?
