Call this my belated 2k post, as well as my >10k in profit/give back to the place I came from (BC) post. /brag.

Let's say villain checks the river to us. His range is XXY. He will only call a river shove if he has Y. You shove for pot and you have a +EV bluff. Now let's say his range is still XXY, but he snaps off your shove with everything, that is he calls X, X, and Y - well its obvious we can't bluff, even if we KNOW X is like 2nd or 3rd pair. So sometimes a player will check their entire range on the river, and when we're left with a PSB all we have to do is determine whether we're value betting or bluffing given what we anticipate his calling range to be.

But you can't force someone to fold. Your opponents will play their range however they please. Your job is to observe and figure out how they are playing it - and ADJUST.

Here's a thought: 'Player A' can show up with the exact same set of hands as 'Player B' on a given river. Player A may never pay you off, Player B may be impossible to bluff.

Okay I left you with some simple advice, I'll shut up till I'm at 3k posts now. If anyone sees an error in my statements holla itt.

(I dunno why I put 2 X's in the example but I'm basically mindboggled right now with all the grinding I've done lately).
