NL10 - AJ

I think IÂ’m more inclined to bluff catch rather than bluff shove otr sith this particular combo. You have the A of hearts blocking flushes, which is big since villain canÂ’t have AhXh. This eliminates a lot of combos from villains value range. AK should 4 bet pre, but I wouldnÂ’t totally rule it out. His value range is then mostly sets and KQ, KJ combos and maybe sometimes a QhJh type combo thrown in. He certainly isnÂ’t folding flushes and likely not sets since your line doesnÂ’t really make sense with a flopped flush. Maybe you can get a fold from an odd KQ or KJ combo, but mostly you will be getting folds from the pocket pairs that you beat. Those also give you SDV so IMO just call.

Assuming villain isn’t calling a shove with a hand that can’t beat second pair top kicker, you can win the same amount two ways - either call and show the best hand or shove and get villain to fold. It comes down to which is more likely. IMO it’s more likely villain has a hand you beat than that he will fold a better one to the shove.

IÂ’d like the river bluff shove much better had you cbet small otf, followed by a 2/3 or pot sized turn bet on a brick turn. YouÂ’d have no SDV and your line would be much more consistent with having flopped a flush.

Why would you say his range is a lot of pocket pairs and then want to turn your hand into a bluff on the river? Just call. Your hand is too good to shove.

Flop is fine check or bet. I think turn should be larger since there's going to be a lot of non believing hands here that call a bigger bet. You also have basically the nuts on turn.

River check call is the best line probably.

Basically my thought process was that he would have a pp on the flop I eliminated those on the turn call. I figured he has a King with this line; a value hand, but can't call a shove plus having Ace of hearts is a great to bluff with is it not?

So just wondering would this have been a good spot to bluff with the ace of hearts?
