Bluffing with Ace King
mporter123:
For those interested, villain dwelled and called with ad 9c.
A very good call but not one that I am sure I could make. On reflection, I don"t hate the way I played this but could make an arguement for raising the flop or turn and wouldn"t be awful. This is the sort of hand where a read would have been more useful ie. Paul the fish
WYoung83:
Havent bothered to read other replys, but when you flat on flop, your range seems to be polarized to either a made flush or exactly what you have, I would raise flop and play for stacks, but as played i would just call the turn.
Horrible bet on river, looks like you have busted draw now, Because made hands such as straights, sets and 2 pairs would raise flop. u need to go for showdown because villain is checking to induce a bluff from the exact hand u have. you dont need to win every pot BTW, and when the board pairs it is the hardest card to bluff at in this situation because it unlikly improves you hand, and if villain belives he may be winning on turn, its easy for him to call now.
Swinebag:
Don"t mind Paul"s call there one bit. There are so many hands that you could have that have showdown value which would check back on river, that a bet on the river polarises your range massively making a call mandatory.

not sure with this texture flop that we are repping much that fits Rob?

I agree. As I also said, would not have taken this line myself. Should have said because of the board
WYoung83:
If i was paul i would call, this is a fairly easy call (Well not easy), but you have to know that with the way the hand was played, its hard to represent value when you havent raised the flop or turn. It just looks like u have kd, and we now know he had the ad so his check on the river (to induce a bluff) was a good play.

Particularly keen to know Cyntaf's thoughts as he was the villain in this story.
