Because if he checks I will bet 90% of the time.

This is bad play at Party where villain most likely has a weak ace and the Jaws of Life could not pry it out of his hands.

I am learning this the hard way.

I think turn and river are pretty standard. Were you going to bluff the river if you missed?

Fold the flop. You're drawing to runners.

You can pick a better spot. I don't see any merits in calling, aside from bluffing almost any turn. I prefer to raise the flop instead of calling.

Sorry to hijack, but do you have a lot of success with bluffs like that? I make a lot of my money in hands like this by calling on the river in villain's position. The bluff just seems very obvious to me....

im a nobody but i think this was a terrible play on the flop at least. understand you were going to try n scoop it later, but why not take it with something worthwhile ;O

There aren't many opportunities to try this with no hand at all, but I will frequently pick up pots with draws when my opponent gives up.

Someone needs to insert TWP's thing about not bluffing anymore. Why bother getting FPS on the flop here?

After the flop it pretty much plays itself.
