Playing Draws/ Bluffs

LOOK AT OPPONENTS' TENDENCIES
-IF HE ONLY BETS VALUE HANDS ON FLOP AND NO BLUFFS
=> WE CAN OVERFOLD WHEN HE BETS

Basic rule: bet/continue hands with highest equity

ONLY BLUFF IS OPPONENT KNOWS HOW TO FOLD

BLUFF-RAISING MORE OFTEN WHEN OOP
-especially vs aggro players
-we can get max value with our strong value hands
-bluff with hands that have some good equity and backdoors

IP: we can float more
-we can raise more often when IP both for value and as bluffs
(NEVER BLUFF VS FISH/CALLING STATION)

FLOP
WHEN FACING BETS:
-target boards which hit our range
eg. BB vs MP1 [456] -> we can bluff raise profitably if he bets too wide
FACING CHECKS:
-start betting very wide as their checking range is often very weak
-even if they call we can bomb the turn to put pressure on weak pocket pairs (ONLY IF THEY KNOW HOW TO FOLD A POCKET PAIR)

TURN
-want to only bluff hands with high equity
eg. QJs on [T83][8] BDFD
- we have many 8x therefore we can check/raise the turn or lead
(ONLY VS PLAYER WHO KNOWS HOW TO FOLD)
eg. 78s on [452][K] vs aggro barreler
-aggro players will bluff very wide on K turn therefore we can check/raise with our draws and gutshots as they are betting very wide

RIVER
-only bluff when we block their best value hands + NOT blocking any draws
eg. T8dd on [827][2][6] vs tight MP raiser
-we block 88, straights therefore we can check/raise shove (only vs players who can fold)

SIZINGS
-population bets strength on hands
-vs smaller sizings= we can bluff more
-vs bigger sizings= we bluff less as their range is polarized
