Re: Is this type of move part of your game?

So right now the part of my game I am working on is actively finding spots to pick off bluffs.

i don't understand. pick off bluffs = call bluffs.

If he has Kx, he almost certainly cannot call my raise. So his bet is a bluff, and I pick it off by forcing him off his better hand.

When you do this, unless your opponent is "bluffing" allin, your hand doesn't matter.

huh?

My phrasing is unclear, I guess. Basically what I mean is, if your opponent bluffs allin, and you are fairly certain he has jack high, there's not much you can do (because he might be bluffing with king high or queen high). But if he just bets, you can raise with your jack high getting him to fold what is the better hand (which of course he doesn't know).

ok, apparently i don't know what "picking off a bluff" means. thought it was only calling and not re-bluffing as well.
nice link on strassa's overbet thread, btw.
