nl100 3bet pot with bluff catcher - Page 2

this 14/12 maniac is def bluffing you. He floated the flop w/ air to FU bluffshove on a later street. Don't let him run over you...


but i also feel like he's not going to shove JJ here so he's value range is solely QQ+

what the fuck, he shoves QQ but not JJ? Am I missing something? Where is this feeling coming from? Is it coming from the same place that leads you to think he ever bluffs the river? You need to eliminate that source of information

i made a correction on the JJ thing, i posted that it was a typo on my part and yea tom, when u put it that way the turn seems like a def fold and the river seems like i should never have even seen it.

Actually I'm interested in how 3-betting takes away the positional advantage he has over you. Is it just because... you lead the flop after he calls?

Also I do not think you have to balance your range against this guy, it seems like when he folds 45% to 3-bet he's pretty much only playing strong hands vs 3-bets regardless of what you have. Plus if it doesn't get to the showdown because you had to fold it what's the point of balancing your range in the first place?

Anyway you should get rid of the bluff paranoia you have and you should also stop bluffing so much. You literally started this hand saying "I'm going to bluff him off of a better hand by betting huge."
