Hey guys. Ive been reading a fair bit over the last two days and have been reading a lot of Bluff blocking stuff. I just wanted to confirm that I have got this right.

So when facing a decision post flop we should be considering if we have a block any of his potential natural bluffs? Or is this more a thought process when thinking about calling a big river bet or all in on a wet board?

For example if we have  on a  board and are facing a check raise. Should we be taking into consideration the spade as a blocker to his flush draw possibility and put him on more of a two pair/set range. Or should we be using the spade blocker as a potential back door outs and reducing his % of hitting a flush and be very happy of getting it in.

Not sure if this is a good example or I'm way off base.

Naturally I would do the latter be happy that it is the right play to 4 bet shove with this.

Help?

Us having the reduces his bluff/semi bluff combos yes, it's something to seriously consider later in the hand. For now AK is simply to strong to fold to a check raise here, so we call regardless, and indeed, having the could help us make a flush too.
