nl20 flop bluffraise IP

i'm tired so going to talk purely from an exploitative standpoint

the problem with raising these boards is that the value hands you rep are literally only sets, so if you aren't a nit your range has tons of draws/pure bluffs and i tend to rebluff often.
anyway as a default i prefer to raise some clubs and flat spades, for reasons that i'm not sure that make too much sense. mostly based on opponent tendencies, though i know that you want an answer from a "default" point of view...

interesting thoughts.. still doesn't feel like a reason not to have a bluffraising range though. and if you raise clubs but fold to a raise (assuming..), why not raise spades instead and be much happier laying down basically trash as opposed to sigh-folding a hand with nice equity?

raise/fold low clubs and raise/ship Ax:c (if i decide i want to raise that), also sometimes we can still raise/call low clubs anyway because ip and villain makes it small or something.
also our implied odds on clubs are low when calling, while our implied odds on spades are quite higher

if villains are folding all day then i prefer raising spades but i think i mostly just give villains too much credit for seeing that i rep super narrow for value when people aren't actually doing that

hmm it feels slightly spewy to raise/get it in with NFD... i only expect sets to bet 3betting the flop so definitely don't think i'd be doing that unless i've seen villain play aggro enough. also there aren't many small clubs in our range that arent some sort of combodraw or pair+draw, but i see your point there

so, if villains are 3betting only sets, should we be raise/folding 33 (value comes from when they call, which is how they continue most of the time)? ♦
it's kinda sick but interesting to think about these things, i can definitely see some villains against which that could be correct

and if we aren't getting 3bet often and don't know if he folds a pair or not, we can raise for a free card (!), we get immediate FE on the flop and get to see the river at a cheaper price (!)
i specially like raising oesds, since they have higher implieds and we can rep the flush when it comes as well

PF: I'll probably flat a little wider, all pairs, KTo, a few more suited one gappers and all suited Aces.

Postflop: I think your ranges look fine. Personally i would prefer flatting AJ and raising A:cT on the Flop instead of A:cJ. I will flat top set and raise bot and mid set. I would also raise some combo draws (7:c8:c) and some gutshot + spades

one thing i never quite got is, do we ever turn any of these backdoor bluffs into 4bet bluffs, or flat ip, or something?

exploitatively i've been 3betting super wide in boards where regs rep a value range of sets only (like this board) and it's been working really often. so, if i 3bet not too large and they fold and i show autoprofit...
i feel like there is something that i'm not quite getting here. guess they should have some gs that they can flat?

you can probably flat wider with some gutshots if you suspect he's bluffing but usually the SPR is already so shallow that you don't really need to rebluff at that point.

nice flop
