Hello hello, I decided to do another hand history.
Today we find ourselves over betting river at $2.5/$5.
The hand starts with 3 players and the button opening to $12.50
I defend the bb and call with Q5cc
Short handed, players will open more often and with worse hands and you can defend a little wider.
The flop is not great for us, so we check with intention to check fold, however, we get a check back.
The turn is a great turn for our hand, giving us both a back door flush draw and a gut shot straight draw. I decide to apply pressure, I and bet 75% pot , we picked up a lot of equity, we still only have Q high, looking for a fold.
Instead we get a call and the pot is $68
The river is another A. This is simultaneously a good and not so good card. I was already pretty sure he didn't have an A from his flop check but this makes it more likely he calls with other pairs.
So what do we do? Go big, 120 into 68. This makes it hard to call with small pairs
Tl;DR don't sacrifice fold equity for a cheap bluff 1 reply
