re: AJs on AT9KK around 11:00... You elect to call twice and fold river because you don't think he'll be bluffing very often on that card. This is a spot I struggle with, but I think your line is likely good against most regs. I do think a spot like this raises some interesting questions about bluffing and calling frequencies. Given that this is a "bad" bluffing card (meaning, I think, better for your range than his), game theory-wise you ought to be more likely to call. But, if I understand your thought process correctly, you're actually less likely to call because you think he won't bluff. This seems like a good strategy in a world where many regs bluff "bad" runouts near 0% and "good" runouts near 100% (for example your barrel off with A9s on T43JQ). From a game theory perspective you should bluff "good" cards more often -- but not always -- and "bad" cards less often -- but not never. There might be some possibilities for exploitation here. For example, someone could probably do well by occasionally throwing in the random bluff against you in a "bad"-looking spot.
