Default Re: The Protected Pot Effect: A Study from 2/4

[ QUOTE ]
I know this is a tangent, but have people been in situations where a bluff can work against better players, because it is obviously protected?

These situations arise rarely, but they do happen. However, it wouldn't happen like the action in this hand. The raise here is facing the bad player with 2 BBs and makes it far less likely he will call. Raising as a bluff hoping MP would call 2 cold just won't work nearly enough for it to be profitable. The most likely occurance would be strong player bets-fish calls-you raise. It will be tough for the strong player to call because he thinks the chances of you bluffing in this spot are slim.
