I don't love this bluff. the flop and turn aren't bad, but the river makes a lot of weaker hands from the flop and turn a weak pair or better and does very little to encourage something like 5x to fold.
I like the turn bet because you have a chance to push out 2, 5x and A hi type hands, and if you don't push them out of the pot they rarely raise (and you have position and draw potential going into the river).
But the river bluff isn't likely to get a fold from 5x, a hand like A4 or A3 that would call the turn is not folding often here either, nor a passively played 43.
i dont like the turn bet... the flop c-bet is standard...
i personally prefer the line variation of : bet flop, check turn to peel a card+implied equity of hitting Flush, Bet river as a bluff, or check for SDV
basically villains calling range on flop is uncapped. he could have FD+A3,A4,34 SD type hands+5X+2X+ AX overcard floats, and some strong QX floats...........
the 8 on turn, doesnt improve or change the board texture,..... so basically villains continuance range is inelastic, if he is still chasing his draws..... you at best, is forcing a 2X or blank AX to fold on turn, while everything else is calling u down...
River: 4(h) is kind of a blank river, which only benefited villains gutshot SD hand range, its a card that seems to help villains hand range more than our hand range, since its less likely for us to have 4X combos in this spot.........
i either have the option of betting river as a bluff, to force a fold from SDV hands thats better than our QX... idk AX floats.....
or check down, since our QX does have showdown equity, vs random 9(d)J(d),34,etc type hands....
all in all- i wouldnt triple barrell, and i would vary my turn line, based on the turn card... if its a card like, K,T,J,A,Q- im more likely to barrel, since its an overcard to 2X,5X combos within villains hand range... 8 is an effy card imo to barrel off of....
U have to Cbet this flop always, i would prefer to bet 30 but 40 its ok.I like to barrel this turn becouse in 15$ vilian could be floating with lot of air, u can force to fold an Ah or 5x and u still have the FD equity, i think is a god spot to semi-bluff.In river i dont think u win to many times doing XB, only Vs Worse Busted draws. I thing is a god spot to overbet, the vilian range is full of medium-weaker hands that don't want to pay a big bet, PUSH AI River is the best option IMO.
