Just looks like a massive punt to me.

If I see you make that turn overbet, I am calling all of my showdown value on the river for any size.

Min-raises are pretty scary on my site and most sites from what I hear. We're repping 99 and that's about it. We're trying to push a likely fish off of trips. Colossal spew.

Cbet on the flop.

Bet/Fold on the river.

While I agree that the population at 10nl is almost certainly under-bluffing river 3bets relative to theory that's because they're likely also under-bluffing river raises.....so you're effectively trying to bluff a strong range, which is generally unwise.

Flop/turn is good, KQo is a bad river bluff but if they're overfolding a small amount it's +EV. Anyone decent should see the showdown and assume you were way over bluffing so I wouldn't fire unless it's Ignition.

The tiny river XR is by far the worst to bluff against. Right to EV jail vs 99% of players.

Interesting, I'd think bluff catching after small/medium delay is better.

Flop fine, you could just cebt nl10 pool won't raise enough.
Turn no need to ob you just trying to fold out Ax. River bet probably can work on NL10, you don't really hit this A after flop check turn ob. River jam is really bad.

Overbets in spots where they're not supposed to overbet in theory are usually bluffs in my experience. So I feel like OP telegraphed major weakness.

I agree and love to call down regs light when they bet big in spots they shouldn't.

But turn is a pretty standard OB.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt as I'm barely break even.

I cbet this flop small, 1/3 pot. Bet fold turn and give up on that river. I don't see players raise rivers often enough when they're bluffing. They almost always have it.

You're basically betting his hand. I still make this mistake, try and bluff the scary river only they have the hand ��
