Does the intentional pause + Value bet add EV?
Cmon guys, we have all done it - the old "I have a monster here on the river and I really want a caller so I'll take a 5 second pause to make him think I am contemplating a buy which will in turn improve my chances of getting called by a marginal hand."
We all do it, but do you think it actually has any worth? This refers to Online play only, by the way. |

Sure, the fish always get hooked by the pause raise. Sometimes they'll reraise with a marginal hand, and in hilarious circumstances CAP when you pause 3 bet.
I never thought a Pause 3 bet would work, but I was wrong. |

This is an obvious fish move, the fiush use it ALL the time, so i don't. I use it against good players when Im bluffing tho...and it seems to be working well

We all do it???
Slowroll even once against me and I will kill ya. Honestly nothing makes me more tilted in online poker then slowrolling mother fucker fishes who think it actually matters how much time they use. |

I actually get much more pissed by the guys who hit the "bet" button so damn fast it's unreal - like it's gonna win them more money or something.
I just pause for the full 19 seconds to piss them off [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] yeah, but I'd lay money that most of these fucktards dont have a positive winrate, so just like in the hand, they are in a hurry to give away their money [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
