River Bluff Jam against Villain likely holding an Ace

River Bluff Jam against Villain likely holding an Ace

Villain has 20% WTSD so I had him capable of folding an Ace. I blocked the straight and unblocked FD so I thought that this is probably the best bluff I will ever have in that spot.
Now I think it's probably a bad bluff since I assume Ace pair is the most underfolded spot population wise and I'm pretty much targeting exactly AJ, since AQ has to call and AT is a slam dunk call.
What do you guys think? Never bluff here?

Don't cbet the flop there, if you bluff you need the flop checked through.

Misread the action, the bluffing candidate isn't bad but the cold caller just makes the flop a check and then we get more info OTT.

Yeah if UTG checks turn we start betting and barrel river regardless

I'd go 50% turn and assuming third player folds (as here on the flop), 125% river? I don't think he's folding an Ace to anything smaller.
Maybe just as an exploit don't try to bluff people off an Ace?


Yep. Don't hate double barreling one v one but a triple is suicide. I mean, the guy's probably using his real name

Just fish.

In my experience if name/avatar is any of the following:

- Cars
- anything to do with a casino
- famous poker players
- me and my imaginary girlfriend
- me and my poor kid
- unimaginative 'real' names
- a fish, a shark or any other aquatic being

98% chance they are rec

very intersting, you just introduced me to a whole new world of possible exploits


I wouldn't try to make someone who uses their real name at 25NL with all lowercase letters fold anything ever.

Don't forget anyone with 2 numbers between 40-79 at the end of their s/n.

Exception if it's the number 69
