Re: Show me a good bluff....PLEASE!
recently played live hand:
tight player raises in EP, three callers, i call with 45[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
flop: j67 two hearts
bet, call
turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
check, pot, fold.
the key to bluffing for me is this:
Bluffing is a tool used against players who are too good for the conventional array of weapons (value bets, position raises etc.). if someone will call you with one pair to the felt, you're a fool for trying to bluff him. once players learn to lay down hands you must punish them both for the times and places where they are overly cautions (mostly semibluffs) and overly attached to their hands (value bets). FWIW, even at the bigger games i've played the vast majority of your money comes from players who like one pair too much.
