AKo ch/r

Hi GingerKid,

I really dislike your ck/raise there as you really don't rep anything.

What's wrong with him floating lightly? We have the best hand that's not a pair so you can consider your bet on the flop as a value bet of sorts.

As played why not bet the river yourself?

I raise here with JJ+, AT, thats what I represent.

I know that when i cbet and if he floats a lot I have often better hand, but do you then fiire 3 barrels?

On river, I didnt bet because for him it is very difficult to call, and flush is the most possible. I think I should bet 1/3 pot to get light calls.

Do you generally raise all of those hands against an unknown? How about 5x?

We don't need to fire 3 streets with AK here to show a profit. We can fire the flop and expect light calls. Then we can also float the turn or continue betting. We have different options. On this Ah I'd continue betting for value because it's a card we should be expected to bluff on a lot.

Yes, i raise all those hands for value, also 5x, TT. I ch/r very often with fd and gutshot, so I need to balance it.

Vs unknown I mostly ch/r as bluff, to get info about them, and they should give me more credit.
Vs known people who bet when ch to, and not fold much to raise I use the range described, and who folds a lot I mostly only bluff with gutshot and bet all other.

I see,

Well, if you ck/raise mostly as a bluff or semibluff vs unknowns I'd still keep it to boards where we can represent more because, afterall, we want to get a bit more respect. I agree that you should expect some additional FE vs unknowns however, on boards like this one, I don't expect you to get that much respect even though you may have some rare value in there.
