now my question is, he must be bluffing me surely??

[totalise]

hahaha so awesome, I can feel myself tilting already.

any points on a re-raise on the river if we lead out...

nice play by villain

[bolt pp]

now my question is he must be bluffing me surely

yeah just a little bit!

two people say bet 1/2 the pot to fold which is exactly what half the pot looks like, a bet that you'll fold to a RR and if you've got that in mind when he re-shoves you start second guessing yourself, i like closer to 2/3 - 3/4 here.

[AgentChip109]

so he thinks he could be gd on flop and turn but realises by river he def isnt so thats when he decides he has to bluff me to be able to win?

[noble1]

i think villain was going to re-raise even if you lead out 3/4 to pot, he just used position or is a complete maniac  lol

how did you get on with him in later hands?

[totalise]

after you made that small bet, yup... but if you bet 3/4 --> full pot, hed just call and you would be gravy

[bolt pp]

so he thinks he could be gd on flop and turn but realises by river he def isnt so thats when he decides he has to bluff me to be able to win?

he played flop and turn fine and you gave him the opportunity to take the pot away from him, do you bet 1/2 pot with flush here? your bet screamed of what it was.

It's interesting to me that instinctively so many peeps liked the 1/2 pot size bet specifically to fold to RR, If this is ppls standard line here it's not beyond the realms of possibility the villains encountered this situation before

It's so much more difficult for him to make this move if you bet bigger.

since reading negranues book, i have been going for the half pot bet in these situations a lot more and they have been working very well for me. didnt play too much wiv him later on tbh, nothing specifically comes to mind

negreanues a shit online player at his level let alone grinding mid-low stakes.

did the turn call he made [in position] based on the size of bet you made and the texture of the board strike you as odd?

anyone any thoughts on this, i know it struck me as peculiar as to what hands he would do that with..

There are several things that strike me as odd on this thread, that isnt one of them.

I like to vary my cash game play as much as possible so i may not have even been playing the hand as me and my pal take turns intermittently taking over from eachover during sessions to baffle our opponents as we play quite differently and he might have taken a different line than me.

you guessed right, enjoy it.. given ranges, I'll take my actions over any other actions, every day of the week.
