I snapped shoved river (not sure if timing tell?) Maybe i could've saved chips by raising river smaller but i thought that would look more bluffy? Other option would be raising turn but its more difficult to rep flushes on river. Title: Re: Unsuccessful Bluff - Too Spewy? Post by: rfgqqabc on April 15, 2015, 07:29:01 PM Ok play, wrong hand, wrong tournament. I think this shows a bit of a mindset leak and not quite enough adaption to stakes. Seems like you've been reading too much BITB. Take it down a notch and go back to basics, make some hands and some valuebets at these stakes not blocker esque bluffs. I'd 3bet pre here, we only get 4b by better hands and can win bigger pots.
I like your play because the decision of the opponent to hit time then bet just over his turn bet is indicative of a hand that is probably not as strong as a flush, having said that it is still a hand he wants to valuebet and vs many opponents at these stakes they will rarely decide to fold after valuebetting. Perhaps the shove is a bit big and that did lead him to call but I'm fairly sure he calls vs a smaller size too. What size would you make it with Qjcc ere? Title: Re: Unsuccessful Bluff - Too Spewy?

Villian's hand is pretty face up so i would like to say the same but in game probs 2.5x his bet |
