SB bets $6.00, Hero raises to $14, SB raises to $43.35, Hero folds

My thoughts
The preflop call is questionable. Since Villian is tight and has a 3bet of 3.5 (altough only 218 hands) and that were 130bb. I elected to call thinking I can bluff many flops.

Flop
One of the flops I had in mind, although would have liked it to be rainbow.
The flop hits my 3bet calling range somewhat and elected to bluff, the only question I really have is what size are we raising here?

The reasoning for my current bet size is: If he just calls and we see a river, I can ship most of hem making him fold almost his entire 3bet range.

The problem with my current size from my point of view is, our valueraising hands that we would like to protect against flushes and our get it in hands would pot this scenario most of the times, however if we do this the times we bluff, our bluffs becomes more expensive and less profitable.

I guess it's those balancing thingies. What do you think?

Hi,

easy preflop fold. Your hand has very bad equity distribution, so you are just asking for trouble calling such a tight players 3bet.

I don't like the flop bluff, because he bet really big. From my experience, noone is bet folding 6 into 7,5, so i think the raise here is really bad.

If, and i say again if you really want to :), if you decide to try to bluff someone here, i'd prefer a call otf. The reason is, that if he has AAxx he might be willing to snap stackoff on this board. However when you just call, most turns make the board much scarier for his aces. When there are 4 cards on the flop, he has to fear straights and 2 pairs much more.

I don't like the raise otf, because you are putting so much money in without any real equity. I must point this out again. This is a board i will only semibluff raise, but never bluff raise, cause it's so dynamic. Your raising range is so full of draws that i don't think his ever folding a hand like AAxx + gutshot. At least i wouldn't

Regards,

Guess, I learned that the hardway :f_biggrin:

However, when we are deep, isn't generally better to have a pair and connected sidecard since we're almost never getting it in with just a toppair+draw?

I see now that a call is better. Are you ever bluffraising 3bet pots? if so, what type of boards?
Medium, static boards?

Hi,

pairs suck in 3b pots. They really do. Cause if you don't flop a set, it's very very hard for you to flop 2 pair. And 2 pair win a lot in 3b pots.

I usually bluff static boards your right, or even dynamic ones that miss the players 3b range. something like 654ss.

Can you explain what are static and dynamic boards? I'm thinking static board should be the ones like K22 that can just slightly change on the T and R. Aren't these ones called "lock-down boards"? Or is it a different thing?

And dynamic ones? Boards with draws?

Is it the same as dry / wet boards?

Thanks!

Hi,

yeah it's simmilar. The big difference is that on static boards the nuts are unlikely to change by the river - K22rb, 852mt, AK6rb, while on dynamic boards a lot of hands have equity vs the nuts; extreme examples are something like KJ8tt and AT9tt.

So basically it would be suicidal to bluff dynamic boards with air, cause there are a lot of hands that have very good equity vs the hands you are repping. On the contrary, when you raise a static board, you can put a lot of pressure on the top of villains ranges.
