Hey was pretty sure after his check on the turn he had the same type of hand as me. What would be the right amount to bluff with into this 2190 chip pot. I bet 1/3 hoping it was the right amount. Should I have shipped in more or pot? Or is 1/3 here solid enough. Oh yeah I understand my starting hand isnt very strong but just went in with calling 150 into 700+

i think your bet size is enough to get the job done in this situation, but that is easy to say when you show results. Next time dont do that!

I'm raising the flop here approximately 97% of the time.

Not sure what you're representing with your "bluff" on the river. It's not like there was a flush out, and the backdoor 25 straight is highly unlikely for you to have. You're getting snapped off here by even rivered top pair hands fairly often I'd think.

Nah, we're seeing monsters I think. I like bluffing here because if villain's range is heavily weighted toward one pair or the same draw we have, and we're not losing too much if he finds a call.

BDC, are you bet/3betting flop or c/r flop? Just wondering.
Fortune favors the brave.
