Never heard that term before either.

Sounds like he's trying to make his river bet look like a block (rep Qx) to induce a raise.

Are u asking why he would raise me if he thought I had a queen?
Yeah, he might raise me as a bluff. He also might raise me for thin value.

Why would we 1/4 a Q on river? i'm confused. a Q is the nuts. he bets a king twice once checked to on flop.

if you're going to bet small because you think it'll induce a raise.

what do you do if you want to bluff the river?

i think he's saying no one's going to try to rep a king that didn't bet turn because that would be stupid, and try to fold you off a queen. unless it's an aggro fish that just sees the small bet and spazzes.

and he's not going to thin value raise you because he has nothing to do that with

I mean i AM a huge whale so i could be totally wrong, but won't this be how the ranges work out: we're gonna bet most of our Kx on flop, so he should double valuebarrel his good Qx once checked to on flop, like QJ/QT . and he'll barrel Q8. so we only lose to Q9 if we have Qx no kicker. so if we have any Qx we basically have the nuts, no? and he's got plenty of 77-33 that should call us if we go like 3/4?

ah ic you got a boat, didn't see the 8
ye that works in the block range coincidentally or as a x
but you seem to be under the impression you don't have big bets in this node and that would be a mistake

guess all kqo in villain range, he can definitely check turn blocking your calling range now with those, and i dont think he have much reason to check deuces or eights on turn, so i would make only nitty AF call
