Re: AJs
Sorry to bump up an old thread (it is on the Digest, though), and sorry in advance for the tangent.
[ QUOTE ]
If you're going to bluff, why waste a strong hand to do it with? Bluffing should be done in cases where it's the only way to win the hand....
[/ QUOTE ]
This is a new concept to me, and flies in the face of much of my understanding. In essence it negates any sort of semibluffing, unless the quote applies only to the strictest definition of bluffing (betting or raising when you have no chance or a tiny chance of winning at showdown). But in fact, the reraise PF with AJs is a semibluff, not a total bluff, because AJs could outdraw a dominating hand several ways.
So I guess I just don't understand that quote. Is it accepted conventional wisdom to save bluffing for lousy hands?
