Re: bluffing with a set
hi turnip, yeah, i think running this against 2 players is probably a bad idea, i need both of them to fold a pretty high percentage of the time to make it profitable. let me ask you something about 6max play; bobbo brought up to raise preflop, and i have been raising 66 even utg a good amount, maybe 50% of the time. 99 and up i'm raising 100%, but 88 and below i still limp occasionally, with the limp frequency increasing as the pair gets smaller, obviously. how often do you raise 88, 77, 66 utg? just trying to get a gauge on how much more ramping up of aggression i need. |

hi mike,
I don't think open limping is necessarily wrong, but I never do it at 6 max. I also almost never limp behind a single limper. |

I overlimp often, but I wont open a pot with a limp. Sometimes there aresituations and hands worth isolating theplayer, but oftentimes you just want a multiway pot imo.. |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't get why you'd raise or fold 66/55/44/33/22 UTG instead of open limping, calling an LP raise, and playing for a set. A hand like AK or AQ (who flop a pair) or TT will often call behind you, call your continuation bet, and generally make life hard for you when you don't flop a set, have a low pair, and you end up having to to fire 2 barrels or more trying to push guys in LP off a hand. Why is this +EV at 6-max? |

Re: bluffing with a set
you hitting a set and the other guy hitting something he's willing to put a lot of money in the pot with is a very rare occurence in shorthanded poker.
no one with AK/AQ whatever is making life hard for us when an ace flops, as I'm not firing indiscriminate multi street bluffs out of position. they win a small pot when they're ahead and lose a big one when they're behind if they decide to see a showdown. the one thing that really hurts you raising small pairs up front is when your opponents play well enough to blow you off your set draw pf by rerasing pot. most opponents in 3/6 and below shorthanded games do not. |

Re: bluffing with a set
He played his hand like a flush draw. How sure are you that a straight even made it? I might just check behind and see what's up. Making a straight fold could be hard, making something worse fold would suck, and making a flush fold isn't happening.
