Default Re: a genie offers you a deal

I actually think this has HUGE potential to be profitable. You can simply let your opponents bluff their way into oblivion. Any time they make a c-bet, just raise. Triple barrel bluffs would work great, you can value bet as if you had top pair hands against draws, fold when they hit and force them off if they miss. it would SUCK, cause all the fun in poker would be gone. If you could turn it off it would be great, but as is I would never use it because it takes away the entire point of poker. It becomes a game of chicken because you can never call an all in, and anytime you get a bluff called your boned.
interesting but it would make poker boringggggggg.

Edit: On the other hand if you always had SOME hand not the nut low, but always the 2nd best hand at showdown (or 3rd best in a 3 way pot or so on) it would be more interesting from a profit standpoint, because some people won't view your hand as a bluff everytime.

i.e if you had 99 on a JT8r board and he has JA and calls. He sees you have a legimate hand EVEN if it's fixed that you're gonna lose.
