$10 NLHE 6-max: Bluff line discussion

In my opinion it wasn't a bad play. The things that make it bad is that i) I wasn't repping a hand on the flop and 2) the board was pretty dry so if he call one or two barrells he's rarely folding on the river.
The good parts were I played my FD strongly and left myself enough money on the river to bet if I missed.
Anyway i'm expecting people to say 3b pre and also it's spew lol

Villain was 25/19 over 510 hands and seemed solid. Definitely capable of folding a lot of hands to sustained aggression.

You're going to get called on the river A LOT here.

I like floating the flop and betting or raising the turn more than raising the flop.

I like 3betting pre

Yeah during the hand I had that thought but I thought I had no SD value. Is it possible to just give up here, or did I have to bet again?

You need it to work ~33% of the time. I doubt he folds that often.

Agree, esp if they are the type of player who is capable of folding vs aggression. Id look at their Fto3bet stat and decide from there. I almost never call with this type of hand unless villain is weak tight post flop and we can expect to take away the pot a decent amount of the time.

Also, totally agree with WVH on the river bet hardly ever working. Its only a half pot bet and you've shown aggression which you say they are capable of folding to. So they pretty much have Kx a lot here by the river and maybe a worse FD that you beat anyways.

Just give up after he calls a flop raise OOP. The hands he folds on that river (78, other diamonds) you beat. No real reason to barrel the turn IMO.
