Hand from Ignition 5NL, tried turning this hand into a 3 street bluff, not sure if I just got unlucky but would expect most people to fold to the 3rd barrel with a 7, but what are all your thoughts on this bluff? The board smacks my BB range so seemed like a good opportunity to go for it.

Against this player 28/11 i think better play check-call the flop. After he call river bluff very risky easyly had villain 4x and 9x and if villain had these hand or better full house he never will fold.
And you shouldn't bluff these players they can able call only board bottom pair.

Not sure why you would ever bluff against a loose passive villain.
The flop call is already marginal with 3 outs for a straight and the backdoor flush draw.

flop is never a fold. i don't mind the line on principle, but i wouldn't run this against someone who's highly likely to be a recreational.
29/11 is still a big gap, even though we only have 35 hands. check/call and take it from there, fold the turn on this card.

At 15% VPIP, I would not play KTs. But, it is not an unreasonable starting hand. I love this posted hand. You bluffed the Flop, Turn, and River. You must develop a style which is comfortable for you and is a winning style. Aggressive bluffing works for some players who develop a knack of when to bluff. These winning players know how to get their opponents to fold as wanted. I rarely bluff. I sometimes bluff the Flop. Instead, I focus on getting my opponents to call and bet when I want. I rarely try to get my opponents to fold. Instead of providing advice on this one hand, I suggest that you choose which style appeals to you and perfect it. Aggressive bluffing does not work for all players. It works for some. In fact, I suspect that aggressive bluffing is better suited for shorthanded play.

at this spot i mostly xc flop xf trn against passive opponents. if you check call flop and they are still barreling on the turn what do you think is your equity against that range? not a lot of people bluff on that board on the turn specially the passive ones. on the river what kind of hand can you fold out and what are the range of hands that you represent? is it believable?

I think that is how you think and not overthink and try to make elaborate bluffs vs the micros or else you will lose your bankroll.

Poker is simple specially against the micro stake play solid and win. making big bluff wont win in the long run.
