Villian is pretty loose 45 over like 200 hands or something. I haven't seen him show down much but his river bet stunk.

I know the board is pretty ugly but I prefer betting the turn, if I"m raised I'm gone if he calls I'll take my free showdown. Our hand has plenty of showdown value, and I'd prefer not to be pushed off on the river. As played, ehhh I'm probably calling river but I'm not enitrely thrilled with it. I think A lot of times he'll have AJ and a lot of times he'll have A10.

I think this is a super easy call. You checked the turn for fucks sake. Do not check this turn if you're gonna fold here. Personally, I think the turn check is fine, but if and only if you are prepared to call a healthy river bet (and make one yourself if checked too).

I think QJ is the only hand you can beat and you'll lose this 9 times out of 10. Ive made a similar call twice this week and Im still cursing myself fo it.

Shamrock is not your average $200 NL player. He is the person here that would have to call the bluff. Therefore, it seems like against him it's a good spot to bluff.

I wouldn't have gotten my spot in this situation with QJ. I woulda check raised the flop and shoved the turn or something.

I doubt Shamrock's opponent knew how good of a player he was or whether or not he could make him fold. If he did then the bluff is a lot better.
