When it's cheap to bluff

[Sephus]

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (6 max, 5 handed)

Hero ($58.05)
BB ($87.85)
UTG ($176.05)
MP ($44.25)
Button ($86.95)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, MP calls $1, Button folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($3) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, MP checks.

OK, so nobody hit this flop.

Turn: ($3) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">MP bets $3</font>

OK so MP thinks he can pick it up, i'll invest $8 cause he'll probably lay it down.

<font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $8</font>, BB folds, MP calls $5.

OK well it didn't work, but i still don't see what he can have that he would check through on the flop and call my little checkraise. maybe he has the As.

River: ($19) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets $9</font>.

well this is a pretty good card to throw out a small "call me" bet, if he has the ace of spades i'm golden. i still don't think he hit the board.

Final Pot: $28
