Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5987344, member: 397965"] I think, you underestimate, how wide a player like this is going to call off. He limped preflop and then cold called a 3-bet out of position for a third of his stack. This literally scream fish, and he also only started with around a third of a stack. So I think, a jam on the flop gets action from any pocket pair, any 9X, any gutshot draw and maybe even A high. Players like this are always looking for a reason to call. Maybe they can still hit something, or they simply convince themselfes, you are a bully and bluffing them. This is exactly the issue. Sometimes these tiny little block bets are made with a very strong hand in the hope to induce a raise. But more often its a weak hand looking to see the next card for cheap. This is, where the term block bet comes from. Its intended to freeze the action and prevent the in position player from making a larger bet. And while it could be ok to slowplay AA here and use the hand as a bluff catcher, I would definitely not continue that line past the turn, because now any TX has an OSED. It just feels absolutely terrible to let the opponent get there for nothing, and then pay him off on the river. So if we dont jam the flop, we at least have to jam the turn. Now he might also have paired up with a J, and in that case he is never going to fold. I agree. I think, Hero got blinded by fact, there were two queens on the board and thinking about, that his opponent COULD have hit that. And then Hero failed to think about all the other hands, the opponent could also have and play like this. Missed draws choosing to bluff the river, JX jamming for value and so on and so forth.
