Was this good play or just stupid? Was I really just super lucky to stumble across someone who can fold (I guess) top pair on micro-stakes cash?

    Depends who the villian is, but I guess you don't know them so from your point of view, it's irrelevant.

    There is deffo room for bluffing (even 3 barrel bluffing) in some cases at micro stakes. It's good if you have some idea of your opponent's ranges and think you can make him fold most of it, obviously your line looks super strong.

    But the caveat to all of that is... fold pre :)

    Readless, fold pre, fold every street at the first opportunity.

    don't think this is a good spot to 3barrel bluff because villain has called 2 streets on a K high board where nothing has changed - you're just v.lucky the board comes out as it does imo and also lucky that your villain obv wont be thinking too much cos it's 8nl. You need to 3barrel in better spots imo, but I know a lot of coaches who would say it's lolworthy to even consider 3barrel bluffing at 8nl and they're probs right.

    there's also like no draws so you're even more lucky to get it through

    Sorry yeah you're in the BB. Ok, don't fold, but don't raise, just see a free flop, and then fold when it's terrible for you (like this).

    Pre is ok imo

    Fold flop

    Fold turn

    As played idk I think the river jam is ok

    if i was villan i probally snap with any k and poss most Q's too.. ur line looks super bluffy and ur reppin nothin really by bet bet betin, even with no reads if u think about what hands would take this line...? if for example if u had flopped nuts KK yes u would raise flop and bet turn but really , an over shove for value??? on a 4 straight board is a bit thin....

    and what Jacks do u have in ur range, not alot possible J10 to raise flop as a semi bluff, but would u be raisin pre with J10.. doubtfull...but i spose u raised 56os lol

    JJ would not be raisin the flop or taking this line..so with simple hand reading and elimination its near impossible for u to hav any hands for value which would suggest to me that ur bluffin a decent % of the time ..!!
