NL16 SH barrel RvR?

Hi,

Your bets are fine, it could be bigger though since we know we are definitely betting flop and turn and we want max fold equity. We are never betting a pure bluff. The worst we are betting here for flop and turn would be a gutshot so this hand is probably around the top 70% of your entire betting range.

Thanks

His question was regarding river I believe.

Yeah

Hi,

there are a couple of draws that busted by the river which is still ahead of us like QJ A :spade:x flush draws , so there is a possibility that we can bet as a bluff.

take note that the K is not folding on the river, T is probably folding so is QQ JJ and all of them do not require a big bet size to fold since we already bet twice on the flop and turn, so we are looking at 3 dollars IF WE DECIDE TO BET.

in deciding our bluff range, we first need to know what we have in our value range, which is AK KK TT 77 AA around 30-40 hands,

if he calls a pot size bet and wins he wins 2x his money put in, if he calls and loses he loses 1X of his money so his call on the river needs to work 33% of the time. so in order for our opponent to be indifferent to calling us, we need to bet such that 33% are bluffs so that means around 10-12 combinations of hands that would bet flop and river and NOT make the river BUT bluff AND at the same time able to fold out a reasonable portion of hands that are weak yet beat us.

hands like 8 :spade:9 looks like a good candidate with 9high and the next best would be 9 :spade:J :spade:, thats 8 combinations, we can even look at 9 :spade:Q and thats 12 combinations.

so this is right in the middle of our bluff range.
