Flop check shove (semi)bluff

This is an interesting one, villain is better 65% of the flops over 140 hands (obviously he hasn't seen 140 flops, but ok sample size) and his fold to cbet% is like 30%. Do we like this line as an adjustment or is it too high risk even given the reward?

(we're maybe 10 away from the money in a 200 player tourney)

  • fml bust, guess nothing matters if they can do this 5 hands later anyway. This run is really really getting to me. I mean how the hell can they have such a high hit frequency in key spots

    Edit: i wasn't actually bust, lost k5 v aj hand after and then I lost kk v ak v QQ a couple of hands later to actually bust, tilt (20 without as much as a mincash now)

  • What are some other stats on villain, and are you saying his cbet % over 140 hands is 65%? If so, that doesn't really classify him as a cbet monkey.
    If I made this play, I'd probably make it on a drier flop (no FD).
  • I don't know really, cbet to me means continuing when you're the pf aggressor and that's a different scenario than this. Think he was somewhere between 80 and 100 for that. by dryer flop do you mean that it's too easy for him to put us on a fd and call with a queen? Cause if he calls us with a FD that's really not the end of the world is it?
  • Yeah exactly, reduces FE
  • So you prefer check folding or bet folding in this spot even though he might spazz out?

    (probably check fold with that board texture)
