Evening all,
I intended to bluff the river, however (lesson 1) I did not think in more detail about stack sizes relative to pot and river bets at that point.
When I got down the streets I became unsure how to play this out, I should have taken a note but I believe I was concerned that a small river bet would be called off by a top or middle pair, and that a larger bet would see me commit a lot of chips and see villain feeling that if he wants to call it off he may as well shove, or that he in turn may see the small bet as weak and try to bluff the bluffer.
So probably best to ignore my thinking and comment on how to follow through assertively, or maybe i should not be there at all.
As an aside, a player named hendurr was on my immediate left (not in this hand). His performance in the 90 minutes I saw him was remarkable, I think he trebled his stack without showing a single card, he bossed everyone off the table in a way I have not seen before. It was fantastic, if not expensive!
Note- I am UTG, I have been super tight for an hour with VPIP 12%.
