river bluff

Hi daisuke3823

I think his range can have a few more pairs in it especially if he has a 7 with a heart.

Generally you are expected to barrel strong draws so if he called with a small pair + heart you won't get many folds, especially for that bet size.\

Would you fold 99h there?

with this hand,I have some equity and his range doesnt look that strong so should I second barrel?

Hi daisuke,

I think betting the Turn is a reasonable option. If you think villain is calling on this flop with some off-suit J:hT:d type of hand, and pocket pairs with a ♥ in them, betting twice is a reasonable option to fold out those hands on the Turn. You also have a gutshot and 2 overs which is pretty good.

Your line here isn't too bad either, provided you think he always folds a non-heart.

You are betting half pot here so you need ~33% fold equity to break-even. I think villain has around 50% flushes and 50% non-flushes.

my line is not so bad because I check back on the turn ,so even if he thinks I am likely to bluff,its difficult for him to call on this board without flush ?

but you mean betting turn is better play?

i think all the various options are close, i don't mind betting Turn as a default. A good player will often defend more than just flushes on the River but a normal standard reg will usually fold without a flush. Since you are playing NL25 I think the bluff works more often than not.
