I raise to $35 on the button with [3c]. Both blinds call.

Pot $105. Flop [8d][5c]. They check and I bet $80. BB calls.

Pot $265. Turn Check/check
Pot $265. River . He bets $175 and I raised to $450. Do you think he folds enough for this to be profitable?

PS..this is a bluff, not a value bet. I dont expect to win if he calls.

Hmmm. Very tricksy.

I really want a read. Does he often get aggressive on rivers after a turn check? Also, if he's a tight player I like it less than a loose player.

I think he'd need a K to call. What hand is he calling with on the flop with a K in it? Not many.

I dunno. His bet seem more like a VB than a blocking one so unless you think he's capable of making a good fold, its probably not worth it.

i'd like it a lot more if the was swapped out for some other random on the board

I have no idea how often this will work, but he did fold.

Well, he can't really call you without the here. If he's going to be bold and call you with the , or if he's going to be fishy and call you with something less, then good on him.

But we all know that you're going to have the more often than a bluff here, so if the guy is going to play with you here without the K, then good on him. obv. if he has the K it's a moot point.

I like this bluff

How's about a minraise?

or will frustratingly call a minraise here every time. Probably even a .
