Multiple at the table groan. "$4? Pre flop? You haven't even seen the first few cards! I really wanted to play this hand. etc. etc."

MP folds

Pot is 18 BB

Flop comes and is...good, but dynamic? :jh::9h::8c:

Hero debates for a bit, thinking range should hit his opponent way better than hero's range, but given the limpiness still opts to bet. Bets 10BB
HJ thinks for a few seconds and then calls.

Pot is 38 BB

Turn is gross. :jh::9h::8c::7s:

Hero thinks and ultimately CHECKS. Too many flop calls just got there and feels like the hand has turned into a bluff catcher.
HJ checks without much pause.

Pot is 38BB

River is super barfy. :jh::9h::8c::7s::tc:

Action on hero.

Only Q in his range is QT off at this point. So gross, so stupid.

I’m checking to try and get to showdown. IMO winning the pot is less valuable than actually seeing his hand here. The information will be telling.

Probably a split but such a shitty runout.

Question for everyone: From Villian’s perspective, if you have missed flush draws, are you taking a stab at it here? I think there are situations where you do, but as played, I don’t think it works. I think villain checks back for value here cause you don’t want to risk getting shoved on. It would be ballsy, and gross if hero could find the balls c/r all in (assuming Villian doesn’t hold the Q)

It’s not entirely opponent-dependent, but the first and most important factor is whether the opponent is capable of folding. Many of them (perhaps the grumblers in this game) are not.

That’s a fair point.

100%. I'm bluff jamming here to represent a queen or KQ.
 
For some reason I thought pot was bigger and we had 1.5spr. I bluff bet for pot. 1.5x is fine. 2.5x too much. But bluff these cards they interact with Q range really nicely

Arguably misplayed pre, bad call on flop, but we got the information we were looking for. Probably not considering this a solid player, and I’d look to take advantage of that in the future.

I get floating a card on the flop sometimes. I actually will do that from time to time. Just given that board texture, it’s very risky. Personally do not like the flat from HJ with AQ, but whatever.

I did mentally say "whatever" in my head.
