[400NL] Bluffcatcher vs BR-B-B

[400NL] Bluffcatcher vs BR-B-B

Villain is a reg, and we don't have any additional info.

River, I tend to think that Villain will underbluff at first, given the strength I’m representing and the presence of many nut hands in my range, but thinking about it, I find his value range extremely thin as well, since I absolutely don’t see AA-JJ-55 3B the flop, and I’m not even sure KQ wants to shove the river when I have so many AJ, 55, JTs, and even TT in my range.

Additionally, I could potentially see hands like QTs or KTs taking this line as a bluff, and I feel like having a 5 is not a good thing for bluff-catching vs GTO.

Villain is using GTO Wizard nodelock sizings with that 6.6BB Cbet for a 40% Cbet for range.

He also knows 3bet flop sizing structure and turn sizing.

I would call all 0EV bluff catchers because of this since I’ve found the more my opponent uses theoretically correct sizings the more they bluff.

Interested in results.

Ok interesting, that’s a possibility, especially for the CB sizing, as the 3-bet and turn bet are hard to mis-size.

In the end, I called, and Villain showed QKo.

A bit surprised by his shove given the proportion of potential nuts (AJs, AJo, 55, JTcc, TT) and bluff-catchers (AQs, A5s, KJs, QJs, J9s) in my range, especially since none of my bluff-catchers have an easy call and he only blocks bluff-catcher combos.

He got lucky OTR. Makes sense.
