Not sure this is advanced, but it pissed this guy well of when i showed him after, i dont usually show my bluffs, not a cocky guy and dont feel it helps me as i dont hit nice that often to warrant showing.

that'll learn him to try and steal blinds with a min-raise lol.

Nice bluff. This is something I like to do that on a high paired board. By check raising the turn, it's usually a dead giveaway you flopped trips.

I wouldn't show here, on this board he probably didn't have much at all. I don't see him tilting in this situation unless he folded a weak ace.

Hehe, nice bluff.

Or made the flush

I think this was a very effective showing of the bluff. It shows people to think twice before stealing your blinds as well as you are capable of playing any two cards. This will help when you pick up AA or KK and people will think you are playing junk.

Very nice bluff and I must say....nice chipstack Razz

I showed a bluff like this last night just because I had already pissed this guy off and he told me I was the luckiest player ever. My response then was "Totally!" I am almost positive that me showing that bluff was what got me 1st in the tourney. When it was down to four, I flopped bottom two pair and was betting it the whole way and this guy called me down with Ace high. Just about doubled up there and cruised to first.

I find the best way to tilt someone is to call an all in with a terrible hand preflop then give a bad beat. It's best when they're left with a few chips so you can tell them how much they suck in the chatbox.

P.S. I have no respect for you.
