Flop: ($10) 3, 4, Q (3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, Button bets $5, Hero raises $15, 1 fold, Button raises $20, Hero folds

Total pot: $40

OR is 17/13 63% cont. bet, doesnt do tricky plays by c/raising
Villan who cc-ed is 15/12/1.4 with 9 aggr. factor, 83% cont. bet.

Standard bluff spot? Or do I just let it go? IMO villan bets 100% of his range there, but I'm confused by his min3b. Spot for pure 4b bluff? :f_cool:

Those numbers don't add up (the raise sizes).

But without looking at that and just the spot I'm not a huge fan of bluffing with little to no equity.

Given you overcalled here in the blinds your range will contain suited connectors, some suited aces, etc. So in these spots I prefer to bluff with those hands, something like 56cc, A5cc, A6cc, etc.

However if villain appears to be straight forward you can bluff with more hands but remember that the less equity we have the more often our bluffs have to work. Here we are assuming that villain doesn't respond to our raise ONLY with 3-bets (but rather calls a good chunk too).

I'd definitely not 4-bet bluff with the hand we have though, or with many hands given your reads on this villain.


I realize that potsize raize would be 25$.
But my bluff has to work 63% of time to be profitable then.
With raising to 15$ it has to work only 50% of time.
Also, since many regs (especially multitabling ones) don't put attention to raise sizes, I think I can be polarized in this kind of spot.

Sorry, I was not referring to your raise size which I think is more than fine.

I was referring to his size. If you look at your HH it says he raises to $20 which is just $5 more than you raised to. I thought a min raise has to be at least $10 extra.

When we raise the flop I wouldn't make it bigger than $15-$17 either.

I like to c/r here as well although I agree with Bogdan that a bigger bet is probably better since the opponent doesn't get odds that great.

So by making it $19 I expect to have a higher EV.

Generally I also agree that in spots where we have close to no potequity we should not be too inclined to bluff, but here I expect that our foldequity is high enough to make the c/r +EV in itself because as z1pz0r said the opponent can (and most will) bet 100% of his hands in this spot.
