draw doesn’t come I give up. two people call I also give up.
mediumish pairs are a better continue here since they can sometimes improve to beat a pair of aces
also very very rarely we hit a pair on the river and win with kt or somehow beat two weird straight draws.
for that reason if I airball bluff I want a worse hand or a slightly better hand
Unless the BB fold preflop significantly more than average, I usually just call here preflop.
I certainly don't think this is a common spot either way though. Even passive players rarely open limp in late position. And the few who do this in my game often have a weak ace.
With 2 people and King high no draw, I think itβs an easy c/f on the turn. I would consider c/f flop if the limper was in earlier position.
Just completing with KQo is criminal. Itβs probably correct with KTo. I could go either way with KJo but would probably raise.
I think between flush draws and hands with less equity than KQ-KT, we have plenty of better bluffs and we are overbluffing if we are betting KQo-KTo. I might bet again under certain conditions as an exploit, but I think the play here is to check and hope it checks through. You're unlikely to get bluffed here.
Even HU on the turn, I think it's ambitious. This isn't the type of flop where people are calling once with all kinds of stuff and then folding. If anything, most players are overfolding flop here.
Axx flop is probably one of the most under bluff and under peel in SRP or Mw. Just give up once call 3 handed on this Axx low. Had the flop been AT5 or AK8 it more likely one one or two have some sort of a weak pair or gutter etc and you can barrel if you have some sort of draw. If you barrel turn though you got to continue w third barrel, pop tendency just overfold on third not second.
