SNG at wpoker 5 seats top 2 paid(70-30)I had about T600 and was BB, SB had me covered and about T2000, 4 left.
I had K10s and knew I had to make a move quick because the blinds were at 30-60 and I was the shortest stack.
He minraises preflop which be have been doing 70% of the time, he is very lag loose, flop is Q 8 3, he minbets I raise him all in, the son of a * calls with K3 and no help came, I think this been my 4 or 5th dutch boyd bluff attempt and yet I'm called again and bust out, which way is better to bluff?Is this alright?

Why the hell are you trying to bluff a loose player in the first place? If you're shortstacked and need to get some chips, against a loose player, you raise when you have to, but you hope the other guy has nothing, like he does. But, you can probably wait a bit longer for a better place to put your chips in. If he is that loose though, then don't be afraid to move in.

Exact play by your opponent I would have made, I think. I'd put you on a steal. You made the correct play, and so did he.

Also, please don't refer to other players as "imbeciles." /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I've made the exact same call in similar situations and would do so in a heartbeat here, especially with a much larger stack.

I think Imbelices is alright. But Imbeciles seems a little harsh. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Let's see he calls off 1/4 of his stack with bottom pair and gives the short stack a chance to double up. Exactly what would you consider a horrible play?

I made this move many times with an overpair, if he is a LAG and big stack, they usually call.

Just push preflop if you think you can get in with the best of it.
