Villain is unknown. Strange line by him. A lot of strong hands would raise before the river. I need 34% equity for the call. He's repping set+, this could be QQ (3 combos), slowplayed TT (up to 3 combos) or some flush like AKcc, AQcc, ATcc, A5cc, KQcc (5 combos). I am blocking KJcc, QJcc and JTcc. Potential bluffs are AcKx, AxKc (6 combos) and 9c9x (3 combos). That's 11 value combos and 9 bluff combos which equals 45% equity. Should I've bluff catched in this spot?

Why 1/3 ott?

Because it's nasty to play against. This works as some kind of hybrid / mergy bet. I get extra value from Tx and draws and if I am behind vs for example QQ, I still have my outs. Best case I am getting QQ w/o to fold.


At NL5z they just don’t bluff enough in that spot. Save the chips, he’s almost never light.


C-C-Donk is the scariest donk for value range. Snap fold
