Pre Flop: (1.4 SB) Hero is BB with A :club: K :club:
2 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, 2 folds, Hero raises, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, CO calls

Flop: (8.4 SB) 3 :spade: T :club: 7 :spade: (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 raises, CO folds, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls

Turn: (7.2 BB) J :heart: (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks

River: (7.2 BB) J :diamond: (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls

So I did this...
Should I attempt to steal the pot when everyone else checks turn?

So what you're saying is this was a bluff?

You need to answer this question before we go any further.

no thats not stealing the pot thats making a donk bet when MP1 raised your flop cbet. so checking is fine. river i dont really like because another J is probably the safest card for both of them so they will call with any pair . Im guessing MP1 has a 3 7 or T or fd.

Yes I guess I bluffed...
I'm bad at bluffing... _cry:
I play my best when not bluffing.

So what is the medicine for my bad bluffing Boomer? _confused:

Hand selection is the key to bluffing

You're basically bluffing with the top of your checking range here. This is closer to a value bet than it is a bluff.

I can't think of a single better hand you fold out here which is why this bluff won't work

Now, checking and calling is a lot more attractive to me because it's possible our opponents are on missed draws and may bluff at the river

If I have to overcall though I think folding is fine although calling is still a possibility since both of these guys have played their hands weakly but since a caller can't be bluffing on the river it makes our hand much less attractive.
