A decent bluff, I think

[jcm4ccc]

I thought I did a good job representing trips on this hand -- this is Stars Deep Stack Tournament--Average chips about 7000.

The original call was pretty loose, I know. 10:1 odds, i was looking to flop a straight or trips.

looks good..

those are the kind of plays you need to make to make calling that PF profitable.

[/ QUOTE ] that's probably the last time i call a raise with 84o. Bad play, even if it was only 50 chips.

Yea i made a post a week or so ago saying why hands like that aren't profitable (even w/ those odds).

But it is possible to make them profitable, but you have to do stuff like you did in this hand and not get caught often and blah blah.
