Re: Are blocking bets a good idea?
I remember this hand from the Legends main event.
I have 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in MP3 and open raise to 450. BB is the only caller.
Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BB checks, I bet 500, BB calls.
Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB bets 1000, I raise to 3K, he calls.
(this is my set-up bluff bet - he may fold to this one, but is sets up a big bluff on the river)
River: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB bets 3K. I had 6500 in my stack. I would have been unable to bluff at this and I've got to assume that he knew it. He bet the perfect amount to block a bluff. Unfortunately for him, I caught my 2 outer and called his bet (which also might have been nut-peddling) and he turned over K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
He out-played me here.
