Firing three bullets for the first time
For the first time ever, I managed to fire three bullets at a home tourney last night. When my opponent folded to my river all-in when I had nothing but King high after he smooth-called my PF raise, flop and turn leads, I didn't know whether I played great or unbelievably stupid. It was a rush though.
Anyone remember the first time you fired three bullets with a complete bluff? How did it work out for you? |

Re: Firing three bullets for the first time
I do this often in tourneys, usually late stages, when my AK misses and I really don't want to fold to and leave myself in survival mode.. so by the river I try to buy the pot, which at this point is probably bigger than my stack.. usually doesn't work.

Re: Firing three bullets for the first time
In cash games or other deep situations I often semi-bluff the flop and turn and push the river when I miss. Since I mostly play cash with a group of regulars, this also allows me to get paid off big when I do hit on the river. Also, if you are known to be aggressive, weak tighties will often adopt a calling down strategy, figuring you for a bluff on the flop and turn, then chicken out when you bet their stack on the river. I guess this works in tournies as well, especially if you are a big chipleader.

Re: Firing three bullets for the first time
I do this WAY too often and sometimes it works and some it doesnt. Depends on the Opponent I guess.

Re: Firing three bullets for the first time
I think I've only done it once (online). And it worked. And yes, it's a rush. Mostly because you're thinking "OK - this is really, really stupid" as you press the bet-button... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Firing three bullets for the first time
Yeah doesnt work often. Someone actually did it to me in a cash game today after I smooth called the flop and raised him on the turn. I folded to his Ace high with my pair of 5s. Was pretty sure I had the right read, but when he stacked himself on the river I was ready to change my mind. He was very suprised when I folded.
I try to avoid that sort of situation like the plague when I get into them, I consider them a very bad play unless you are a masterful player/and or have a very good read..Only time I've seen this work well is in a european championship in france where Tony G fired three bullets and had his opponent fold. Like I said, very read dependant, and I'd err on the side of caution and get rid of my hand. |
