Is this the \"classic\" inducing a bluff line?
Is this the classic way to induce a bluff? Just a hypothetical hand . . .
Basically you make a continuation bet (or something else to build a pot), then show weakness correct? Early in a tournament. Hero (MP) has KK and raises 5X, gets the button to call. Everyone else folds. Flop comes Q97. Hero leads out with a (up to) pot-sized bet, making it look like a continuation bet on an AK-whiff. Villain calls. Turn a 4. Hero checks. Do I have the line right thus far? What's the play when... A) Villain bets on turn. Call and then value bet the river? Drop the check/raise bomb? B) Villain checks turn. Lead out on the river, or hope for a bet from villain to raise? |

Re: Is this the \"classic\" inducing a bluff line?
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to check the turn in your example. The threat of the villian checking behind and hitting an ace on the river is too dangerous. A better example would be if you it middle set with no flush draw or something like that. In order to slow play, the free card must not be too dangerous.

I use this line on a lot actually. The board in your example however, is a little too action packed for my liking to use this line and check the turn. Give me a flop of 844 or the like and I'll use this play a lot.

For A, I think it depends on the texture of the board. If there's a lot of connectivity, I'll make the check-raise on the turn. Change the 9 to a 7 in the example you posted, and I'll check/call, and usually lead the river.
For B, I'll lead out on the river. This is because if they didn't bet the turn, they're probably trying to get to the showdown cheaply (thus checking behind on the river), but might call a small river bet. |

The fact that the guy called your flop "continuation bet" suggests that he hit the flop in some way. He could have 5 outs or more. |

I don't think you can check that turn. |

I'm sorry, I got confused. I agree with you in principle, but I was applying what was said to example A.

Re: Is this the \"classic\" inducing a bluff line?
Assuming that the flop is rainbow and Villain is a chick:
Turn: Hero lubes up and bets 1/3 villain stack hoping for the spread to occur. Villain complies. Hero has slipped it in partially. Better yet: Turn: Hero erects a bet of 1/3 villain stack. If raised: Hero spasms a re-raise all-in. If called: Hero makes the "goofy face" and has a smoke. If villain folds, Hero loses interest and looks around for another opportunity to spew chips. A). Hero pumps weakly after the villain bet to tittilate and comes over the top when re-heaved. B). Hero jams it all the way in and phones his mom after Villain completes the dirty deed with her JKo. I need a shower. SlackeUhUhUhUhAhhh! |
