Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7136289, member: 397965"] Preflop Would be nice to know, how many players were at the table. At an 8-handed table UTG+3 is actually already the HJ seat, and knowing this is more important than knowing, how many players were ahead of you. Against a normal player ATo is just a fold here, but if he is very loose, I think, both calling and 3-betting are fine. It also depends, if people behind will aggressively squeeze. Flop I prefer just calling here to see, what BB does and not risk getting 3-bet and forced to fold. Your hand is clearly to strong to fold to a small bet. Time to use your position and hopefully see a turn. Turn I dont think, it would be a mistake to check back, because your hand has decent showdown value, now that BB has folded. Betting does also accomplish something though, and its actually a combo-bet, because draws like JTs might call, and bad made hands like 87s might fold. River Total whiff and now a bet is solely a bluff. So the question is, does he fold enough, and here live table reads will tend to matter. Have you seen him call down with weak pairs in the past in similar situations? Then bluffing is most likely not profitable. But if you have seen him enter many pots but only show down strong hands after calling a river bet, then it might be fine to bluff this player. A more theoretical question is, if this is the right hand to bluff? A hand like JTs would be a much more clear bluff, because it has less showdown value. But having Ad is actually bad now, because then he cant have a busted nut flushdraw, which you beat, unless its specifically AJ of diamonds, and this pushes him more towards made hands. So this combo is a better bluff candidate than AT without A of diamonds. Results So he tank-checked and then folded to a bet, but that does mean, your bluff worked. He might have folded some busted draw like 65 of diamonds, and his tanking would then have been him thinking about going for a donk bet as a bluff but eventually deciding to give up. Maybe he though about, if he could represent the 3 and decided, that no this would not be credible, which in fact it would not. If you had a value hand like top pair, and he donked into you on this river, it would be an easy call. [/QUOTE]
