Oh my, one of my most succesful bluffs (assuming i was beat)



Posted Tue Aug 29, 2006 3:11 pm GMT by kingetje
I felt i had been outplaying this entire table ever since i sat down, took down alot of pots and already made a few in position bluffs/bets with which i won a few big pots, and i had been hammering the table quite a bit

i started out with $40

then this one came up

Personally, I think that's a very bad spot to bluff in. Don't assume that moves like this are +EV just because it worked once.

And stop killing kittens pre-flop! Laughing

This is a Doyle's HH, where "kingetje called $0.50 and raised $1" means he called the .50 BB and then raised $1 more, to a total of $1.50. The interface works the same way. In that hand, kingetje would have only typed "$1", meaning that's how much he wanted to specifically raise, as opposed to Stars or Party where you would type "$1.50", to raise to a total of $1.50.

I don't think it is that bad..... Hard to call that bet without the queen (Gotta discount anyone having a flush since it was runner, runner).

It definitely won't always work, but I wouldn't call it a "bad spot".

One of my friends in my home game said he saw someone online type "dk" after a minraise.

If Norman Chad uses this during WSOP coverage next year, I want royalties. :D

I don't think it is bad either...32 push into a 44 pot is good odds if read says opponent won't call w/o a queen or the flush.
