Heeeey.
Not much reads on v , they've not been active from what i've seen.
I was debating to myself as whether i should c/r here or just c/c. h Which line do you take and why?
the answer is prolly “it depends”
depends on your opponent , reads help , but we've not got much reads here. Against a looser opponent that opens up often i think c/r is pretty good here because they'll be folding a bunch to our semi bluff. Against a tighter opponent i think c/c is better as theiir range will be tighter and it's unlikely we're gunna get a fold unless we triple barrell bluff (assuming we don't hit)

Start by thinking about how wide your value range would be, because that determines your bluffing range. There aren't many hands you could check-raise for value here against an EP raiser, and probably I'd just check-call my whole range. I would bluff the river, though. You've got J-high so even a smallish bluff designed to fold out AQ/AJ should be better than checking.

cheers Andrew , i must say i don't do that often , i dont tend to think how wide my value range would be when i call the flop so basically what you're saying is what is the top/medium/bottom of my c/c range yeh?,
the reason why i never bluffed river is because i put them on overpairs like TT-AA since its an ep raise and all.., I never did like the K on the river , if they've got any k they are likely to call as well.
I'm curious as to why u think bluffing river is good? we don't have showdown value thats for sure but what are we repping…K9s? a flush that got their on the river? i guess their is a few hands that we can rep come to think of it. I also think that their range seems weighted more towards marginal hands , i think most overpairs will bet turn on this draw yheav board , so yeah i should had discounted that from their range.

It's easier to be dealt AQ/AJ (28 combos, given your blocker) than TT+ (26 combos). Even if V plays both this way, he has to look you up REALLY often to make a 1/3 pot bet more profitable than checking when you have practically 0 showdown value. Have you seen my bluffing series? The right question to ask is usually “how wide should my bluffing range be” rather than “is this a good spot to bluff”?
Also why do you think you need a hand as strong as two-pair to value bet the river after V checks back turn?

I've not watched the bluffing series , I will have to, because it seems im struggling in this area.
I never did say we need a strong hand as two-pair to value bet river. I was saying what are we repping when we take a stab on the river.
I actually think bluffing the Kd river is good , when v checks back turn it's unlikely they've got a hand with a diamond init (draw) , like AhQd for instance , most diamonds would be bet on the turn. So i think my bluffing range should be wide on the river. I also think any card that completes a straight is a good card to bluff on a jack or ten for instance. Although we've now got showdown value (a pair) i would turn my hand into a bluff here.
not sure if you would agree with this , but that's what i'd do.

I guess I'm disagreeing that a river bet would rep K9 or a flush as opposed to T9 or something like that. I certainly wouldn't expect Villain to fold any hand that beats T9 but not K9. I also don't think it matters that much that V isn't likely to have diamonds, though I agree that he isn't. The only thing that really matters here is that he's going to have no pair at all pretty often, and you can't even beat that. I don't think turning a pair into a bluff would be a good idea for that reason. If you're betting a T river, it's for value.
