River kinda resteal NL4

Button seems like an unimaginative tag so far. Do you think that this river bluff is +EV. If not against what kind of opponent would it be.

seems like a standard line with button vs blind.

his range should be capped at jj max, if he cant handread you can overbet rvr and make him fold

also id fold or cr flop, your hand has a great backdoor potential and you can fire a lot of turns-the call seems bad oop. Play it like a set

A flop CR is superior than floating OOP, in general.

On the river, your bet is so big it seems like a busted flush draw, but I can see him folding quite a bit either way.

What would you bet with AT/JT/JJ?

given that line as Button I think I'd call. Do you think it's a bad call?

I don't understand your question.

The standard play is to fold the flop, especially 3-way.

Donking is even better than c/c.

My question was mostly about the EV of the river bluff.

On flop, I'd rather Check-raise or c/c than donk here.

If I call pre, I feel that playing hit or fold is too weak. Maybe I should've 3bet light pre but this seems like tuning an ok hand into a bluff.

no such thing as playing too weak at nl4, you beat the limit by making made hands and getting value from them, marginal plays should be avoided as the rake is massive and people play so random

This. If you want to improve, read this over and over until it is burned into your brain.

The biggest mistakes that people make at micro stakes, is that they call too much. If your opponent folds too much, sure you can try to bluff them, but don't be surprised if they snap your "amazing" bluff with mid pair. Calling off a few bucks is a cheeseburger to them.

This is spew, fold flop

for the bluff, nja, i dunno, look at villains WTS first, if its stupidly low, maybe skip it, unless u know he can make big folds, seen it etc

Hero checks
Button bets [$0.23 USD]
SmallBlind folds
Hero calls [$0.23 USD] <--- wtf are you doing.

spewing is what you are doing.

fold and find better spots.
