CO calls 78.5 BB and is all-inHero shows 3 A (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 29%, Flop 34%, Turn 27%)
CO shows K A (Three of a Kind, Kings)
(Pre 71%, Flop 66%, Turn 73%)
CO wins 210.5 BB

alright so my thoughts were as follows:

flop, (217 hands played with him) his cb is 71, i have a nutshot and a sexy backdoor, so little raise seemed in order.

turn, oh, ok, lemme overbet i have good equity and lemme put pressure on his A9 Q9 1010 JJ QQ.

river, oh, ok, i have nothing... probably the worst hand i get to the river with... all in.

Flop and turn are ok
River is a brick all flop draws didint get there so you cant bluff all of them. You give up mostly ones with some SDV and bad blockers, so in GTO this is bad bluff. In real game if your opponent wont bluff catch enough you can still bluff this.

alright thanks a lot for the feedback mate appreciate it! would something like a2/a3 of clubs be a better bluff? dont think id ever bluff 67s, 78s like this not sure if thats correct or not.
