Default Re: River Bluff

Terrible time to bluff. You have no idea if the other players can make a good laydown. You have no image, so they will be especially curious to see what you have. And as you have already identified you haven't set the play up with a compelling line. It smells like a desperate bluff.

Plus you are not deep enough to set this up well if you even want to, since that would require raising the turn, which will make the odds for your opponent to call the river too compelling. And even in a deep stacked situation I think we are talking about investing too much with that line on a bluff.

My real question is why you would call those flop and turn bets with just a straight draw on a 2 flush board. Its raise or fold on that flop, but it should be mostly fold.
