Since I have some readers now I will try and post some content from time to time. This was an interesting hand from today.

Villain is a very tight regular, like 10/5. He was actually the BB in the hand I posted yesterday. He claimed to have QQ in that hand. So obviously he is quite passive and doesn't like to fold overpairs.

In this hand, preflop and flop are standard. My turn bet is totally standard as well. I should have folded when he raised though. But I was a bit tilty and had position and his raise just felt spazzy. He might also have the same hand as me and if he checks the river I can perhaps move him off it. If he bets the river I can fold pretty easily.

Anyways, the interesting part of this hand was the river. He made his bet instantly. Clearly he didn't even look at the board and see that it was one card to a str8. Since I can easily rep 87 here, and he never has a str8 himself, I can now happily shove AK as a bluff and take the pot.
