Re: Firing the Second Barrel (long)
[ QUOTE ]
Against an opponent who'll never bluff c/r, but will always bluff bet if we check, we should bet to stop his river bluffs.

And this also stops him from getting to showdown some percentage of the time for the same price. If he calls our turn bet and bets into us we are beat and can fold. If he checks and we check behind, we sometimes lose to a pair caught on the river.

It's those damn buggers who are in between that cause problems.

It doesn't sound like there are many opponents where inducing a river bluff is the correct play. Maybe it's a guy who bluffs the incorrect amount on the river, but not 100%.
One of the components of semi-bluffing is the ability to bluff a scare card on the next round, but I'm not sure that applies that much on the river.
