Thoughts on this bluff?

[Acesfull1026]

No reads on CO, but have played plenty of hands with SB and know him to be aggressive and capable of squeeze plays. Mainly calling the 3bet because of position and my read on SB. On flop i try to make it looks like a begging bet, but mostly for info of whether or not i can steal the turn.

The turn card is scary for them and i know they will have a hard time continuing w.o Qx or a set and fire a decent sized "value bet".

Thoughts?

I'm not in love with it, mainly because it's still 3 handed. I think you can safely represent a queen as played, but I think it's questionable for a few reasons. a.) 3 handed as stated, b.) very draw heavy board, and it's gonna be hard for any combo draws or pair/draw combos to give up on the hand. and c.) I've found at this level of stakes bluffing just isnt very profitable, especially in a spot where there are a lot of reasons for a villian to call....

Just my thoughts right off the top....

What hand ranges are you putting each of them on preflop? What about after they check/call the flop?

[D-Nut]

I think preflop is really tough.... (and take this with a grain of salt b/c I dont have much experience with 6-max) I think cutoff could have anything from connectors to any low/middle pair to broadway cards....SB could really have the same range with the addition of higher PP's.

And really....this kind of goes with my dislike of the bluff as a whole....but a check call on the flop could be anything from the nuts to a flush draw to two pair....

I think overall, based on the texture of the board, the river might be the best place to try and pick this pot off.....

I just think that this board falls right into the hand ranges of the lines the villians have played here.....it's a tough pickoff IMO....

Not that you haven't repped a strong line yourself....I just think it's tough to expect a fold here, especially by two players

Why are we calling the 3bet preflop?

Why are you betting THIS drawy board without equity?

Preflop I know the SB is capable of making loose 3bets since i have about 700 hands with him. I had the CO on something like 55-TT and thought he would c/r a set on this draw heavy board. The SB c-bets almost any made hand, including AcKc. So i was most worried about him having JJ, although AT is easily in his range. After they both flatted my small flop bet, I felt comfortable to bet the turn hard since they would most likely lead QJ KQ or AQ on the flop.

I took it down on the turn and still feel the SB had AT and CO had 88 (obv alot of room for error here )

However, when i was reviewing the hand post-session, I was asking myself the same things that Toxin and Aaron posted, so i thought itd be worth it to post the hand. I am still confident in my reads, but looking back, feel i would have been better off leaving this situation alone altogether.
