Poker Strategy: Should We Turn AQ Into A Bluff?

  1. We are assuming villain is a very competent player in order to bluff. I dont like it

  2. no king straights or flushes are folding…would have to bomb it and close your eyes…

  3. I like 950$ (or even 1050$) on the river. It's large enough to represent both a flush and a straight, which we can both credibly have. We can have AsKx for the nut straight, we can have just KQ for a regular straight (which may want to bet smaller), we can have things like 5s4s As2s As3s As4s As5s 8s7s, stuff like that. So yeah, a medium to big bet like 3/4 pot seems pretty good to me!

  4. Most of the recent hand histories, I've noticed have either incomplete information about the villain or the caller gives villain way too much credit

  5. I think, this is played fine. The Villains line is really bizarre, and it almost has to be either some wild bluff giving up on the river, or a hand, which bet for value but realized on the river, that perhaps that was a little bit of an overplay. We are beating the bluffs, and the latter kind of hands are going to hate a bet, but they are going to call it off anyway. So the best play is to just check it back, like Hero did, and take a showdown.

  6. Normally V is very improbable to have flush because almost all spade hands are on the flop either combo-draws, or pair 9 + fd and most players c/r flop with those hands.
