think all 3 options have merits. flatting, clicking and jamming.

This is .fr, surely we bet more on the flop?   I just keep betting there with most opponents, just no need to get tricky.  So 4 bet 180, call either.  If they call, just keeping on betting on the turn.

I'd be more tempted to get tricky on stars than the other one.

I like flaring here to see what the other big stack does.

He isn't repping anything at all, wouldn't want to fold out any of his bluffs. Clicking it could be cool to try induce a shove but would prob need a decent read.

Jamming could look weak but don't think there's quite enough of a likelihood he'll be calling off to make it better than the other 2

clicking > calling > jamming > folding.

Think clicking is the best by far actually

Any sort of read would help, nothing special, but fish/reg would be a start

I think calling > clicking > jamming > folding. Calling just seems by far the best option tho.

call is by far the best line here.

If the board was K92 then ok, but K74 there are significantly less hands with equity that will jusr cram. You can't expect QJ or something to cram here but on boards like 872 where we have 2 pair its far better to click as they can spew even 1 over card etc.

clicking it seems quite bad imo.

Too many people overthinking and overcomplicating things here. Call.

mmmm agreeing with pleno again.  In theory clicking here can represent a bluff but in practice it almost always means nutz - unless you think opponent is v bad and v spewy just call.

can we ever be bluffing if we call though?

i think vs all opponents calling is best here, an ace can come or board can pair or bring a fd or some additional equity. A bad aggro player just usually raises and then folds when we click.

I don't think that matters though, its all about trying to get the maximum vs player type+hand+board

On this board

Tight player

-> Value range is prolly just sets = beats us
-> Bluff range. nits can always spaz and in this case would just have something completely random = we crush and will crush ott too

Spewy player

-> Value range = prolly non existent, or dont have to worry about it because bluff combos massively outweight
-> Bluff range, completely random crap or some back door, j9 w/fd or something idk = we crush and will crush ott too

On the turn, I would c/shove anything that is connected with the board and call down on total bricks because of this specific texture.

also, if he raises KQ/KJ to find out where he is and is terrible then he can even fold to the click back.

3betting this flop texture if probably the biggest mistake live fish do, i mean like abs whalecackes.

we should however prolly be bluff 3betting this flop with close to 100% frequency vs anybody aggressive for exactly the reasons why we should call flop here.

Yeah you're rarely bluffing when you call but you're also rarely bluffing when you min 3 bet the flop.  You're not really trying to rep a bluff here (apart from maybe some sort of straight draw). You're trying to convince your opponent that your hand is weak, like some randon kx, 7x, qq etc so that they keep value betting worse and continue bluffing and maybe even hit (what they think is) a decent turn card.
