2 5/10 NL 6 max hands, I'm turning into a LAG

[Allinlife]

problem with these hands is that..at best you are getting about even money for your draw, and at worst..you are drawing thin

the raise amount in hand 1 is awkward as hell

be aware of stack sizes with these bluffs, you dont need to get pot stuck with a weak draw, its almost better to have NO hand when bluffing, then you dont care if you have odds or not, if you get reraised its a muck

calling it off with draws is hopeless poker

Yeah, semi bluffing totally sucks. I mean I hate when I get called and hit.

It's the raise amount that stinks here, nothing else. And hero should only do this if he honestly thinks he has a good chance of taking it down, and only if he's beeing paying attention to bet sizes.

Did you even READ the Ciaffonne book?

He directly states this concept. Doesn't even coyly hint at hit, literally spells it out.

Are you saying if you're going to bluff at a pot you would rather NOT have outs than have them?

Rethink that for yourself.

Listen, the raise amount was bad because it causes hero to have to call. But saying that if you're going to bluff it's better to have no outs at all is ridiculous.

C&R talk a LOT about making big moves with big draws, and the QT hand counts. Unfortunately, with the size of the pot a push just wouldn't make much sense. Villain perhaps made the worst move because he's commiting so much of his stack with a hand that probably has a lot of outs.

Why do you keep insisting that I, A. Have not read the book, or B. Did not understand it?

I don't know how much respect people gave to your posts, but you'll surely be losing any you had from this point on.
