That was not the general trend for the nut flush. Especially you check back twice on the flop and river! I liked the way you checked back on the flop and took the pot control and equity of your hand. However, most of the players start to bet on the turn for the value once the V checks twice.

If you think the V value bluffing on the turn why not just call him with your K high. Jamming is certainly not my choice!!!!!

Considering the stack size and the bb stats, I would jam preflop with 14bb. In the case of post flop play, check back on the flop, bet on the turn ( Ace is a good buffing card based on your range), check back on the river if the V calls my bet on the turn and fold the bet on the river.

Shove pre. If there's a hand you want to induce (raise/call) with, KQ is one of the worst cause you allow hands such as suited Ax and small PPs to reshove on you when shoving folds them out. The worst hands you should be inducing (raise/calling) with here off 14bb are AT/77 and that's if the table is extremely aggro. In this spot I'd r/c 99+/AQ+.

Bet 1/3rd pot on the flop, a dry T high board is going to miss your opponent's defending range and he will play honestly vs a bet here. Betting allows you to take the pot down right now and shove turns when you turn equity.

Turn is an easy bet. This is the best card in the deck for your range! Bet 2bb on the turn and jam most rivers. Your opponent is very capped in this spot and you are uncapped so you can apply max pressure and put him in a bad spot.

River is just a spew, just fold to the bet by your opponent. You rep absolutely nothing given the line you took so having a blocker is irrelevant. Would you check a flush draw on the turn? I doubt it. The only value hands you may have here are TT/AA.

Hi thanks for your reply, but the flush was completed in the river for this reason I don't bet in the turn.

I agree, this is a good reason to bet turn.

Both of you tell that is push pre, but IMO with 14BBs I can play post-flop yet.

Ty again guys.

In my opinion, I think your hand should have been played more conservatively. There was a good chance that BB would pay your bluff for pot size

IF you wanted to represent, you needed to have a lot more chips. Villain is not folding any hands with that raise because your story doesn't make sense. Bet on turn then shove on river and now you have a legit story.
After you checked twice you basically saying that you don't have a flush draw. That A was your miracle card. After you checked that, you should be ready to check behind/fold the turn.

$1.0 NLHE STT Turbo: What do you think about this bluff?

With 14BB checking to the river and raise bluffing all-in is a terrible plan imo. Shove pre, bet flop or bet turn are much better plans. Those bets need to be all-in as well, you can't bet-fold here so short stacked, fold equity is your friend. You really need to be deep stacked with reads before trying to pull off river bluffs. Short stack poker is simple and one of the most profitable areas of poker.
