Without a read, among a V in my player pool, I rule out a bluffing range until I see a bluff. Seven out of ten Vs don’t make big bluffs.

30 in pot
Jc5c6s….SB checks, I bet 25, he raises to 80
What do you do?

You bet over 80% pot and got raised big. This may be the most ‘underbluffed’ line in low limit poker.

The only hard part of getting away from this hand is that v may have played KK or QQ this way.

Did you talk to villain?
I honestly think that sitting in your seat, I would have a pretty good idea what to do by what I have seen and heard.

Not being there, makes the solution much harder. The entire point of experience and skill is situations like this where the math is so close that reads make a difference.

Can’t emphasize enough that you can’t stew over this hand. Make a decision and don’t look back. If you fold & get shown a worse hand it’s ok, if you call & get stacked it’s ok. It’s just another hand.

You have to play hands like this sometimes while looking for bread & butter situations.


1-3
UTG makes it 15 with AcAx.
Folds to unknown 40ish MEM SB who bought in for 300 20 minutes ago, seems loose but not maniac/drooler, hasn’t shown a hand yet.

What’s he calling 14 more HU OOP with? We can probably assume at 1-3 the BB wasn’t showing any inclination to do anything but fold. Almost certainly not SSCs or small pairs imo.

This has played out more like a big jack, KQcc, or QQ (nice read FreeCard) who’s put UTG on AK or AXcc than anything else imo. I would think a set waits til the turn to make a big move.

Prob should’ve shoved or folded on flop but I can’t fold AA to a blank turn getting 2-1. If he’s Doyle or Bobby Hoff with a 65, so be it.
