    I haven't been playing online lately so I'm just going to make up a situation.

    FR .05/.10 NL

    BTN: Hero
    UTG: Villain

    UTG raises to 3bb
    Folds to Hero
    Hero calls 3bb w/ JdTd
    SB & BB fold
    Flop (8bb): 6d6h2d

    Villain checks, Hero checks

    Turn (8bb): 8c

    Villain checks, Hero checks

    River (8bb): 9s

    Villain checks, Hero bets 6bb, Villain ???

    With no reads on Villain at .10NL I think it's important to allow that some non-standard hands for an UTG raise are in the PF range. Basically my intuition is that hands like AJo, KJ and AT are active here sometimes.

    So say he opens {77+, AJ+, KQ, 6 combos of KJ, 6 combos of AT}
    His post flop behavior pretty much rules out 77+ and suited diamonds. I'll leave AJdd, AQdd, and AKdd to allow that he doesn't always cbet the flush draw. We'll leave one combo of AA and one combo of 77 to represent the chance he's the passive sort or the sort to play high PP's super slow. I'll also pretend he cbets 50% of everything else.

    This leaves Villain on the river with 1 AA, 1 77, 6 AJ, 8 AQ, 8 AK, 7 KQ, 3 KJ, 3 AT for a total of 37 hands. I'll say Villain calls with all of the A-high hands half the time, AA, 77 (or whatever other pocket pair he may have not bet postflop with for whatever reason), and folds the rest. This means he's only calling with (1+1+3+4+4)/37 hands and 13/37 is <<< than 6/14 which makes it a pretty profitable bluff.
    I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

    FR 2NLHE

    MP2: Hero
    UTG: Villain

    Villain stats: VPIP: 28 / PFR: 14 / 3BET: 0 (Hands: 173)

    UTG raises to 3bb
    Folds to Hero
    Hero raises to 9bb with AKo
    UTG calls

    Heads-up
    Flop (19,5bb): 2s 5h 7c
    Villain checks
    Hero bets 9,5bb
    Villain folds

    So before I try to calculate if this Cbet was +EV I assume that Villain has a opening range from UTG of about ~8% which is to loose I think but it would match to somebody with a VPIP of 26.
    So his 8% range would be: 77+, ATs+, KTs+, QJs, AQo+
    So I think that are about 82 combinations:
    77+ (6*6 + 2*3 = 42)
    AKo = 9
    AQo = 12
    AJs = 3
    ATs = 3
    KQs = 3
    KJs = 3
    KTs = 3
    QJ = 4

    But because Villain doesn't raise I exclude AA and KK (- 6 combinations)
    And he doesn't fold, so I exclude 77 and 88 (- 12 combinations)
    So his range when he calls consits of 64 Combinations.

    Then on the Flop (2s 5h 7c) I think he is calling with 99/TT/JJ/QQ would he also call with AKo? I don't know so I just expect he is calling with his overpairs.

    That means he is calling with 24 (99/TT/JJ/QQ) combinations and folding with 40 combinations.
    Thus he is folding: (40/64) of the time which is 0,625 so about 60% of the time.

    And because I am betting about half the pot, I just need him to fold about 32% of the time (9,5/29).
    So I my assumptions are correct it was a profitable cbet bluff.

    Please let me know where I am wrong.
