no way is it a bluff more than 50% of the time.

[/ QUOTE ]

MLG bet 60K to win 72K and forced his opponent to play for his whole stack without jeopardizing his own stack. He can certainly be bluffing more than 50% of the time.

[/ QUOTE ] I think what's interesting about this hand is that the OP had no intention of betting his whole stack on what was essentially a bluff (A5 on a K99 flop). But that's exactly what he did.

You really muck A5o when folded to you on the button?

[/ QUOTE ]

I might fold A5o here, I also might raise 72o.

That sounds results-oriented to me.

No it isn't . . .Either MLG succeeded or he failed.

[/ QUOTE ] That still sounds result-oriented to me.

Sometimes MLG will have a hand when he makes this play, and sometimes he won't. Maybe Equal got lucky this time. But I still say that his play is -EV in the long run.

I'm fairly certain MLG folded, because both Equal and MLG made the top 20.

Or MLG called with Ace high and they ended up chopping.

OK results. I have to apoligise here as I lied about the actions in the hand to try and get some unbiased responses.

I didn't push. I wanted to, as I suspected MLG of testing me with the raise, but I chickened out instead and folded to his flop raise.

To summarise: I bet 30k on the flop, MLG raised to 60k, and I folded.
