Of course. Otherwise the title of the thread would have been "Bluff raising sucks". "


I almost never bluff raise, but when I do I have a high success rate. In general, I agree with Sklansky that bluff raising is too expensive when it fails to be frequently useful, however, I do find the occasional opportunity to bluff raise. I think this was one of them.

What hand range do you give villain to make this a bad raise? I'm pretty sure he's folding a non-heart hand that beats me about half the time, so because I was getting 4:1 odds on my bluff, he'd have to have a heart and call with it sixty percent of the time.I think villain has a heart probably 30 percent of the time, and I explained why in an earlier post.

Whats your line? Call? Fold?

Best,
