    i thought it was a good spot to bluff on the river. i can represent a set or 98...

    what do you think

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($26.35)
    Button ($10)
    SB ($13.85)
    Hero (BB) ($10.75)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, Q
    <span>2 folds</span>, <span>SB bets $0.40</span>, Hero calls $0.30

    Flop: ($0.80) 10, 7, 2 <span>(2 players)</span>
    <span>SB bets $0.60</span>, Hero calls $0.60

    Turn: ($2) 4 <span>(2 players)</span>
    <span>SB bets $1.20</span>, <span>Hero raises to $3.10</span>, SB calls $1.90

    River: ($8.20) 6 <span>(2 players)</span>
    SB checks, <span>Hero bets $6</span>, SB calls $6

    Total pot: $20.20 | Rake: $0.95

    villian here is 34/34, aggression factor of 4.5 (Over a small sample size)

    thanks

    <blockquote>
    Seems obvious you were bluffin. If u had 98 then youwouldnt of raised on the Turn.

    I think you needed to start the bluff earlier, after the flop. He probablly put you on something like Ace 4 with ur raise, and im guessing he had a 10 in his hand?

    I think this was an easy fold preflop but if you were in it I would have checked called the flush draw and then fold if i missed.

    yes, fold preflop is one easy choice, but i wanted to outplay this guy, coz his range here is wide. hes been raising every third hand, and i really wanted to play this hand.

    i guess i should have 3 bet him in order to continue instead of flat calling.

    he had AT, but the thing is that is EXACTLY what i put him on... he should be able to get away from AT with that sort of action

    maybe raising the flop then barrelling any turn is another option, then reevaluating if called on the river.

    so i reckon 3 bet pre, then c bet wouldnt have been a bad line to take, what do you think?

    folding here is horrible. there 4 handed and hes in pos bvb. and there super deep. the call pre is fine. i raise the flop instead of the turn. if you take that line and check back the turn or call his bet on the turn then betting the river is ok

    Well i dont think you can raise that hand preflop and if you c bet it hes probably gonna call or raise you with the ten ace kicker.

    And to the other guy, why couldnt you fold here? if you hit the q you got to be worried about not having the kicker. So unless you are expecting to flop the flush I still think it could be folded. There is no reason to spew chips even if you have them to call with.
