It's pretty tough for him to have a FH here as you have a ton of blockers, I guess you don't think he will fold any flush to a 3-bet? Couldn't this also be a busted straight looking to get you off a chop.
Since you called me out, you got BLUFFED here!
Huh? how can I get bluffed there when I bluff bet. There is no chance I have any equity.
SPEWWWWWWWWW
I should only 3-bet intending to fold to a 4-bet. Non-video, I would have done this. But that being said I should have a 75 to 3-bet, yes.

He doesnt have to have a FH to beat me. And he never folds a flush, never ever. He did have the last hand you mention however!

I had QTxx. I think your river bet is way way too thin given the card that came, honestly. Nothing good happens when you bet this river as evidenced by this hand.

I had 647 rainbow. Seems too coordinated to just fold right away since a lot of your range is split 3s.

I dunno. Being silly. Your hand's pretty face up, but I probably should just bluff 3bet 45 and nothing else considering how rarely anyone folds anything there.

You said yourself that you're c/f your open pair of nines there. What value is there in betting the river when my hand is so face up?

Wait... I may be wrong here but if you can 3bet/fold to a four correctly here you're saying that you should 3bet 75, but isn't my ideal range in this spot when I c/r: 84xxx, 74xxx, 64xxx, 54xxx
75 only beats 1/4 of these hands. What am I missing?
Also, you've told me I should be c/r an 8 perfect on 7th. So your betting range should look something like 95xxx, 94xxx, 87xxx, 86xxx, 85xxx, 76xxx, 75xxx, 64xxx? Not sure if you should be betting your nines there, actually. What should my calling range be when you bet? 86xxx-98xxx?
In any case if I think I have to assume that, even if you're betting your nines, you're folding the worst of them to a c/r. So I'd guess it's a pretty close spot with 8-perfect in my spot and I think you need a 74 to even think about 3betting.

why don't we keep on betting 7th? our hand could be a busted flushdraw and he is not going to bet onepair but might/will call a bet.
~~ I just think that he is going to c/b a lot of his range here.
obv. it is good to balance our c/r bluffing frequency. I'd like to know what your general gameplan on 7th street is (with this hand) and why you chose this action.
I also think that calling a 3bet on the river is rather bad because he will not be doing this as a bluff often enough imo given your boardtexture.
I got to watch episode 8 of your stud series.

JoeTall didn't realize he made aces up. He was "bluffing". This hand pretty much sums up how I ran in this match.

None. I was wrapping up and fiddling with software I just said it without thinking.

Agreed.
