10/20 Joe in trouble reading opponents hand

His raise is almost 5x, that seems a bit much just to get some value out of a made hand... Maybe your hand is really face-up and he wants to shit on you?

Therefore he has some hand with value it in I would guess these are limited to 2s, 3s and A2s. I can't really see any other hand that would check back flop and not bet for value/protection/bluff and raise turn. If my first assumption is wrong and you like to c/r a decent amount here then it's possible he has 54s, spades or some random junk like 66 turned into a bluff but he might just flat spades and fold his junk so I think even in this case you are still looking at mostly value hands which beat AK.

best advice imo.

there were easier ways to bluff in this hand this is by far the most FPS. Though possible, if hes knows what level you'd think on and is exploiting that however I dont see him not just betting the flop

that's A3s or A2s so often lol

btw fwiw if i knew the player was good i think this could be a nice bluff spot but the only hands i could find myself bluffing with are like 44 or 55 that im turning into bluffs that i didn't just bet to protect myself in the first place. i doubt many people have a hand in this spot to even bluff with most of the time

Only 3 combos of it... :-

Ya, A3s A2s exactly what my first thought was too

Well as far as value hands go A2,A3 maybe even AT, sometimes a set but your range should look to him as if he doesnt have to be turning something into a bluff against and that he can rather bluffcatch, so I dont think he would turn 99 into a bluff so maybe KQ,KJ that checked back that just wants to take it down right there but meh I think prolly fold, dont mind two calls either just to see what hes up to, but sorta meh, I do expect to see those 2p a bunch.

What do you guys think villains range is for flatting ip vs an utg raise? Just curious

bingo

Well I thought his range was mostly A2s, A3s, 45s + possibly but not likely AQ, AJ + some random (semi)bluff with like 44, 55, KJ, KQ, ...

I decided to call to the river thinking, that he would check behind AQ, AJ type of hands and possibly even check behind A2, A3 on some scary rivers. What happened was that 5 of hearts came, making a straight possible with any 4x hand, I checked, he thought for really long time and then overbet shoved allin. I folded.


Today I played the following hand with him. It gave me some info, which might have influenced my decision in the hand in question.

Now you know he is sticky, it's time to call, no ?

i still dont see how relevent that hand is to the other one. the situation is pretty unique in the OP

Granted hand 2 does have action on the flop, he is representing a pretty narrow range in both instances, although his sizing is different...

his turn raise is much bigger in the original hand u posted I still think he has a made hand there

Ok, but, should he call, to let him spew the river instead ?

fayth is saying were beat in that hand. so do you mean we should call to spew the river? lol

I'd have a tendency to fold

Is it a raise for bluff in the second hand ?
I'm confused by all the answers.
