Pre Flop: (pot: 2.5 BB) Hero has K♣ J♥ Q♥ 4♠

fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.5 BB, SB calls 2 BB, BB calls 1.5 BB

Flop: (8.5 BB, 3 players) Q♠ 5♦ K♥
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets 6 BB, fold, BB calls 6 BB

Turn: (20.5 BB, 2 players) 5♥
BB checks, Hero bets 12 BB, BB raises to 52 BB, fold

Villain is CACAFOGO, very aggressive guy who plays 50 ante tables and 100 tables.
40/25/11, fold to cbet 46, fold to cbet turn 31.
Makes moves regularly, relies on aggression and winning pots without showdown, crosses the spew line at times (saw him coldcall a 3bet with kings, call cbet on J33 and went broke against a fish who raised him).

I'm not sure what to make of his raise. Against normal regs or fish this is an easy b/f on the turn, against him I'm not sure. He has 50 VPIP from BB.
He could be doing this for value as his wide range includes some 5s, but he would need something to go along with it on the flop, he doesn't just call a bare 5. Maybe JT5, Q5 etc.
But then I wonder why he'd raise almost pot, I can't continue that many hands and he might isolate himself if he does it with trips or the underfull.
But then it's also a great bluffing spot as I fold a ton of hands, even KQ. I wonder if it makes sense to check back turn against this kind of player, as I really don't know what to do here.

Hi,

What does CACAFOGO mean?

Like you say, this is a perfect bluff spot for him, but i honestly haven't seen people use this play as a bluff below plo200 very often. Like never at plo50, maybe a few times at 100.

Checking turn doesn't make much sense here, as you are still getting value + got a redraw here. But you could argue to call since you have position which is what you'd do with a boat, see if he follows through otr.

Once you call turn he has to think you has something, so he will only bet river with the nuts.

Regards,

Skod

hey skod, i think i would call also ott against this type of villian with this history. but you dont think, that this type of guy with that history, will barrel lot of rivers when he do this ott as a bluff? Do we really want to call turn and fold every river (ofc not KQ)?

Yes we should.

We have a lot of boats in our range once he raises the turn. He can't really think we call a 5x reraise with a draw, and he probably puts a 5 as the bottom of our range if he gets called, so he usually doesn't fire 3 here.

Regards,

Skod

clicking this back would put him on a tough spot. Aldo he has to be able to fold K5/Q5 by the river. It is unlikely he has KK (would have 3 bet pre) or QQ, and often these hands raise the flop. Also I dont think 55 raises pot here it just doesnt make sense. It looks like a 5 which is trying to protect from FD and from SD, so if he s capable of folding boats on the river when i bet 90% pot + then I'd minraise him back here

100% calling turn after your description of villain, c/f river as I can't see how he is ever gonna be bluffing that street as well unless he is tilted.
