Bluff - I thought I needed the pot. What do you think? $55

[microbet]

It was tough to get to be first in on a pot in good position in this $55.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter

Hero (t995)
UTG (t877)
MP (t1037)
Button (t4301)
SB (t2790)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t500) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks.

Turn: (t500) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
HERO is ALL IN for 775

The gutshot draw had absolutely no influence on me.

if you wanted it i would have pushed PF. the guy is more likely to fold then than after you give him a chance to hit a hand.

[Newt_Buggs]

I like it unless you have a read that UTG is either a very good player or a very bad one

I definitly would not push pf

[lastchance]

I want this pot. I'm certainly pushing the turn at the very least.

I disagree, I don't think you have much FE PF with someone who open limps UTG for 1/4 their stack.

Unless Villain is a solid player for whom the open limp looks like hes trying to grab action with a monster push seems fine to me. His play seems donkish and he has shown no strength grab the chips.

[Isaac Newton]

He's in worse shape than you are. His call shows strength or desperation. Either way I don't think he can fold in that spot.

[microbet]

He folded.

Also, not that it matters to anyone else but me, I won the tourney.

[Nick M]

i like it. sort of a semi bluff too.

[bennies]

a far far out sort of semi bluff...

I like it also, pushing the flop seems to obvious, the turn is better, now you can represent the 6 as well as the 5.

ah the old stop wait and go, classic.
