Hello,
this is a hand from the 100$ Zoom on Stars against a reg. I made this bluff on the turn because I thought when the J hits he has jk, 44 and draws. There should be much more flush draws than full houses. And I thought he would just call this raise probably 100% of the time with draws and full houses. So I wanted to bet every none spade river allin. When the 10 hits I thought I had a good enough bluff catcher. What do you think about this hand?

I like the moxie, but I don’t think you’re appreciating how wide ranges can/should be BvB. Villain does not need two-pair to raise the flop. And in fact, your hand is quite possibly too good to turn into a bluff. I’d start by check-calling flop. Believe it or not, you can win unimproved at showdown, and very few better hands are folding flop. Yes, there’s a lot of Ax in V’s range, and you may want to bluff at some point to get him off of it, but there’s no reason that has to happen on the flop. Realistically, you should be checking this flop quite a bit as the PFR. Hands like JT, A9, K5s, etc are all defensible/good checks. So you aren’t going to want to just fire away with every single unpaired hand on the flop.
The Qs is a really significant blocker to the busted flush draws you are hoping V has. Without that in your hand, I like your turn and river lines a lot better.

Yeah, it all depends on how often he would really bluff the river. As strong as my line looks maybe not that often. It should look to him like I want to induce a bet from missed draws. I don´t take this lines too often, maybe I should. This is why I am really not sure about the whole hand…
Andrew, checking the flop is interesting. I probably never took this line in this spot with a draw with q high, I almost ever fire at least the flop and the turn. But it is cool, he woudn´t expect me to have it if the straight comes and I could cr some turn and rivers as bluffs too.
