I played a hand earlier it's really annoying me, I really disliked every option, I flopped the nut flush draw, and faced a sizeable raise on the flop on a kinda funny board, and ended up jamming, but really disliked even that as he was never folding, whatever he held. I hadn't noticed the player before.

Then this hand happened. It's button versus my BB.
The player is the chip leader. He has been active pre, min raising a lot. We've played 3 hands of note against him. 1) He raised Button, we defended, and didn't bet 1 street and we won the hand at show down. 2) He opened, we jammed a shorish stack and he folded 3)Button/ Blind again he opened Ace 9 we jammed, he called and won that hand.

We have 10.3k at the start of the hand, blinds 200/400 (BB), our friend the button min raises, we defend. Pot 1.8k, we have 9.5k behind

Flop:   He min bets 400, which is really strange, I call ~2.6k

Turn  , check he bets 1.3k, half pot, he defo has here, random hx, 10x with or without a heart, same with J. KQ some random stuff. We called.Pot 5.2k.

River  ,
Check he bets 1.2k into 5.2k



I moved in for 8259. My line doesn't particularly make sense nor does my opponents, F400, T1300, R1200. Looking back I potentially have the best hand here, but at the time 100% this was a bluff, with the eratic bets I just felt he had an ok hand that couldn't call. Something like Ace 10, 10 with a decent kicker. But would he bet this hand on the river, I don't know. Giving how he had been playing its quite thin.

It would make a lot more sense if it was Jx. But would he bet 400 on the flop with Jx?

Think pre flops really standard, would be interested on opinions on the turn river. Thanks

His line looks like 3 streets of value, or maybe a missed draw that he wants to make look like a trip to value town.

What do we have? Any blockers like Ah or ? Think we can shove Ah versus someone with a fold button (Pleno would find a fold here with two pair or small flush I think)

Anyway, shove looks about as polarised as his line so far so what is he calling with? Flopped flush almost certainly (he ain't Pleno), two pair? (J10 definitely in his raising range I guess). He probably should fold all his Jx and 10x.

Meh, that's all probably there to be corrected but I'll put it out there.

Not sure what you have? But villains hand looks like top pair strong kicker or an overpair type hand. I don't think i'd try and get a random player on sky to fold it.

Don't make bluffs when your line doesn't make sense.

Don't make bluffs when your line doesn't make sense.

as Jason Herbert used to say "you can't bluff idiots", the line needs to make sense to the other guy
