Default Re: another good draw turn push

lets just say, on the safe side, that baron plays 2 tables. at 6-max, you can get probably an average of 60 hands at a table. players switch in an out. on a huge site like partypoker, you can play a villain for 2 hours and never see him again.

how often do you really think a hand like this comes up in, say, a 5 hour session? that's 600 hands total for 2 tables - say you play 150 of those hands, how many of those are going to be big check-raise all-in semi-bluffs? more importantly, if there are more than one, how close do they have to be? how close is villain paying attention? are they even on the same table?

it's not that difficult for someone to play 1k hands a day online, and have at least one big semi-bluff in that session. i think its rare that youll have this situation come up at the same table more than once with the same opponents

which is why i think moves like this work much more effectively online, as it's hard for him to call 1600 more with anything less than a lone 9
