Default Re: Application of Theory of Poker on Bluffing in Hold\'em

I read about the watch thing, I just don't see the difference. Let's assume you got 8s-7s and the board shows Jc-4d-2h-5d-10s would you start a bluff because it is 20:35 on your watch and why should a guy with Ac-Jh believe you?

You can't bluff if you can't represent anything. All you can represent is trips, because that works with every board. You pretend that you started off with a pocket pair and hit trips on the flop. But then you have to start the bluff early. In Hold'em you have to pretend that the board fits to your hole cards, so you better start right with the flop.

In Stud you can pretend that the last card fit to your board. That's a completely different thing. You can actually start your bluff on the very last card.
