Re: Negreanu should read the STTF

Does it matter if Daniel N doesn't use the same terminology as 7000 18-year old yahoos on this forum as long as he knows what he's talking about? [/ QUOTE ] Daniel? Is that you?

Re: Negreanu should read the STTF
I think the blocking bet's a very commonly used tool, but understanding why it works requires either brute force math (to prove +EVness) or sitting around and thinking about it for a while. I'm pretty sure many people on this forum have done neither, which isn't really a bad thing, it just means it's a thing that we can talk about without boring people.
The same thing is not true about value bets or bluffs.

Re: Negreanu should read the STTF
Actually, they talk about blocking bets a lot more in the MHNL forum.
Seriously though, I wasted two minutes of my life reading the replies to your post (and typing this).

It's called a blocking bet, no0b, and 7,000 18-year old yahoos on this forum know about it. Seriously, though, the article describes the play of a hand that is quite interesting. It's posted on pokerpages.com. Irieguy [/ QUOTE ] Not only that, but blocking bets are so well known at this point that they often don't work anymore.

Re: Negreanu should read the STTF
I might be missing something but I almost never see anything about blocking bets in the STT forum. This forum can be summed up by two phrases...
"$XX: Is this a push?" or "OT: Blah, Blah, Blah" Citanul had a decent post about this earlier. Discussion on the topic is much more common in the NL cash or MTT forums.
