KJos Tournament Bluff - $5.50 Progressive Knock Out

Posted 7 years ago

I wouldn't usually play KJ offsuit UTG, let alone call a 3-bet, but this guy had been ultra active, happy I'm ahead, and if I can hit he'd pay me off.

Think this is ok if we think we're getting folds from all his Ace highs, problem is he could reasonably have Js + that take this line but we don't really have any other bluffs in this spot so fine to chuck in KQ and KJ vs this player type. As you say though very rarely flatting these OOP especially UTG would much rather 4b for blocker value.

I think this is bad as your reasonings are

- super active
- pays off

So would normally means - probs doesn't fold ever.

Fold pre, fold to 3bet and probs don't try to bluff idiots.

I couldn't agree more with Jon. There is no good enough reason for this play without specific read.
