What do you think?

[bawcerelli]

i didn't like it at first, but i don't see what hands they could have that they'll call you with. it's balsy, i can't do it (yet) but i'm not gonna knock you for trying.

[Femto]

meh. this is one of those situations where i'd have already checked the "fold to any bet" box and moved on to the other 7 tables. i suppose this may be something to try if you are only playing a couple games and are looking to get tricky in the earlier levels.

anyway, i think you'll probably win it this way, but i'm not a huge fan.

its nice, but its a luxury that a normal multi-tabling player doesnt always have

why not? i have made this move before.

i didnt say a multi-tabler never has the chance to make this kind of move, but when 8/10 tabling the chances that you will not press check/fold box for a hand like this decreases dramatically vs say someone who only plays a few tables

I dont like it, youre betting raising what the pot? so theyll have to fold 1/2 the time just for you to break even let alone the chances of getting reraised etc. I just dont think its worth it to pick up those chips at this point but what do I know ive never broken even over 250 20's /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Getting reraised is irrelevant since hero's hand has no value.

[Bluff Daddy]

he can always rereraise, no good point but I still dont like it just because I think the chances of him getting called v. the extra 100 something chips he gains

you dont have to be following the action every second to make this kind of move, if you generally know what has happened on every street or the street before. I will make bluff/raises all the time when I see a typical continuation/steal type bet into a certain pot size.
