Re: Bluffing Best or Worst Folding Hands?.
ok I see what you guys are saying. But why can't you look at B's bluff raise similarly to A's by way of B's limping hands. B has a range of hands he will limp with. Once in that range he is not folding, similiar to A having the check option. Why shouldn't B bluff raise with his worst limping hands?
And how should I apply this to Poker? I'm on the river and bet into. I have a range of hands to fold,call,and raise. Should I bluff Raise with my worst folding hands, my best folding hands, or my worst calling hands?
It seems to me that it depends on my assesment of my opponents likely holdings. Am I more likely to push out a better hand by bluff raising with my worst, or to get a worst hand to call by bluff raising with better hands. Also, I'm usually going to gain a lot more with a successful bluff than inducing a bad call. Maybe that's the point Aisthesis was getting at in #4 when he talked about A getting more Bang from his Buck when he bluffs.
