BB Bluff question

DRKEVDC · #1 07-17-2005, 02:04 PM

One of the plays that I find useful is bluffing after the flop if the flop is low. Example being 633. I have limped in the BB with say 84o I will often fire out a bet which will get a caller, then once the turn hits I fire out another bet that will usually takedown the pot. Here is my question, would you show that bluff so people think you are a fish? My feeling is if I show then I can't do it again at that table, however, am I likely to get paid off in other areas with that fish image?

Why give them free information?

The only reason to do that would be to influence their actions at a later point. Next time I come betting out of the BB with a big hand I want them thinking I am playing junk.

I think 84o is really bad since you will be called a lot of times by overcards. Even if you hit the turn you won't win a lot of times with a pair of eights or... fours.
That said you could sometimes try it against only one opponent who is capable of folding. If you don't win the pot right there then forget it.
