Thoughts on pre?

Turn was a bluff to fold out AQ, QJ, might have to fire river as well. Could potentially get AK, AA to fold by river too depending on river card.

Was a semi bluff as we have possibly 11 outs vs better hands

Was for value vs smaller pairs + clubs, Ax with etc

Thoughts?

hmm, check back and hit a club imo.

Pre and flop are obviously fine.

On that board we're raising most of our flush draws - nut flush draw, top pair + fd, sd + fd - so I'm not too convinced we rep an especially strong hand when we bet the turn. I don't much like the idea of betting the turn, expecting to get called by a better hand, with the plan of barrelling him off it on the river. We do have a huge amount of showdown value right now, though, and if we have outs to improve on the river, let's try to hit them. If the river blanks off and he checks, I could even see myself betting for value.

how did we quadruple our stack pretty early in the "kickoff"?? if been v splashy or got lucky, then actually dont mind a 1-3 turn bet.

AA>KK for 6k each.

feels thin. this 75ö bet on flop feels strongish, id expect him to bet smaller with like 77cx, also if he was doing some random bluffing on flop and giving up he v likely bluffs a club otr.

bet/check/bet line rarely bluff though?

[SuuPRlim]

worth making the play just to be able to start this thread imo, a legit triple merge, WP.

it's not a real thing.

[SuuPRlim]

if you don't think it's a real thing then you're not worth discussing poker strategy with

[cambridgealex]

Tease.

Cannot find any resources saying anything about it, bar that 'no such thing'!

Cliffs?

Well look what I did here...

In any spot on the flop or the turn, you can have a value range, a bluff range and a semi bluff range. Here, I bet the turn as a genuine value bet, semi bluff and bluff. So I've merged those three ranges into one. Hence...
