3/6 NL Stars semi-bluff.

[ryanghall]

I don't play much shorthanded but the table got shorthanded and one of the players was a fish. Villain was not the player. In full ring he's a TAG. We hadn't been shorthanded for very long. Is this play viable?

Um, I don't play any NL, and this is a limit forum, but I think when you semi-bluff you wan't a few more outs then you have. Maybe if you had the nut flush draw, or an open ended straight draw.

Use the correct forum next time.
