It seems as though the flop call is a bluff catcher with reasonable equity in the hand and the numbers back this up on Pokerstove, as you have 37% equity against an 11% range.

The trouble is you are likely facing AK,AQ,AJ or pairs and are really only ahead of KQ,KJ type hands if the hand gets to showdown, which it undoubtedly will against a 68/11 player.

Against a thinking player who knows you perceive their range as strong, and are therefore representing a strong range yourself, you could look to maybe do battle on this completely dry board. Against a 68/11 fish, you are taking yourself to value town by calling.

I would not have called preflop with such a potentially dominated hand unless I was on the button and confident of how the villain plays post flop. As played I would not have called the flop either, since there are few turn cards that change anything massively in our favour. As it happens the turn card does give you a likely split as the villain would likely have spewed chips if it improved him. The turn looks like a call to me, expecting the villain to check call everything in his range on any river.

Hello DrRaab,

As long we assuming that he is CBetting very wide range then sure we are able to float, especially vs a smaller Bet.

Best Regards.
