Thoughts on the blocker bet?Too small?
A pot-sized blocker bet doesn't really make any sense to me. You're not expecting him to bet more than the pot, are you?That, and I don't like blocker bets.

This deserves to get seen by a few more people. From our resident Stupidhead...v1.27Feral Cow Poker Hand ConverterHEM/Poker Stars NL Hold'em $1.00/$2.00 - 6 playersButton: $237.98SB: $200.00BB: $60.00

I remember when this thread was all about how bad KJ was at 3betting

He's probably not flatting KJ's raise otf if he had a2. Besides, A2 is such a small portion of his range here, we are never ever ever ever ever ever ever folding the turn. People are stupid, they do

It was a 2/3 pot bet on the river.I thought I could maybe get some value from the 9s I beat, and if he raised, it's an easy fold.

Why do you ask for line checks on hands you played correctly (in a vacuum anyhow)?

This is fine... most 50/14's are calling stations post so there are hands you can get value from (that's not a "blocker bet" just a half sized pot bet which is fine)... and when you get raised by a station you go through the following:a) do i has the nuts? jamb ) do i has not the nuts? fold

twofold.I want to generate activity. FCP is dead, RIP.I don't have many interesting hands per session. I'm a nit remember. Some hands leave me with a bit of doubt, like on the river getting such a nice price. I also have some problems w/bet sizing.

Right, sorry. I meant that if you bet more, it's essentially pot-sized. It's pretty thin as a value bet. So, no, I don't think your bet is too small.

I wouldn't consider 55 here a blocker bet at all. I would consider something like 25 or 30 a blocker bet. And I think betting something like 25 here is best. First droolers, especially loose/passive ones either wont pay very much attention to bet sizing or they will see it but just revert back to being loose passive anyways so I think you can get away with making a blocker bet here without feeling like your going to get raised off the best hand a lot.Also against his range I think making a blocker bet is a better plan than making a big bet or c/cing. First c/cing doesn't seem like a good plan because villain doesn't have very many non paired missed draws in his range. There will be a couple combos of JT or overcards that peeled the flop loose and picked up a flush draw on the turn but that's pretty much it so your unlikely to pick off bluffs by c/cing. And what I think makes blocking the river better than making a bigger bet is that I think there will be a decent amount 6x hands that had a draw on the flop or 3x hands that picked up a straight or flush draw on the turn that may call a smaller bet but fold to a bigger one.

I liked the way you played it. That river smashes his range and there aren't really many bluffs in his range to catch.

I think shoving here is good and standard. A lag is going to have a wider than average preflop range here and with not much left behind on the turn compared to the pot size I think you get calls from Ax hands and other pair plus flush draw hands much more than enough to make pushing profitable.

Yeah, he caled with QTo no club... In the past I've gotten very gun shy when flush draws hit but I'm working on being less afraid of monsters under the bed
