I think a5s is a very good hand for a 4b bluff, but if vil calls it i have problems playing the hand postflop, because I can't give him a reasonable range.
First he should call hands which are good against my 4b - range. little suited connectors ? but I have seen a lot of kts, qjs, jts, or small pp which hope to get payed if they hit a set...
So where to start: maybe played not perfect here (I would bet the 5 OTF against nearly ever combo, villian could have called, has 2 overcards.) I had no infos and got cR on a dry board q high board so I tried to cC this one. (against random bluffs... but I think its not good because people don't bluff enough in 4b pots.) or I was afraid of kqs or kts.
OTT i have 2 pair, so i decided to bet here 1/2 ps.
OTR i tanked forever and checkt. he tanked forever and pushed. So we have a timing tell here from both sides. I represent a middle strong hand which I am undecided to push/or to fold. Retrospective he could easily have a flush or flushdraw OTT... So may hand is not that strong ergo check fold. But I thought, people b the flop with bdfd if I check to them + he wouldn't tank so long with a flush + i am at the top of my checking range. (Think I would bet the flop with aa, ak) and cC with kk, bet turn and river (because I have no flushdraw on this board ever)...
So as you can see I am hyper confused hopefully you can help me with that.
