Re: a genie offers you a deal
One more thing: If even once, you bluff a river against someone's unimproved A6o, and they decide to call you suspecting you are full of [censored], that's gonna make anyone paying attention more inclined to call you down, since at least online, your cards are automatically shown. And in live play, if you just open muck after someone's c/c, roughly the same effect will occur. Fold equity goes way down from a meta-game perspective.
If you are caught just ONCE with 32o on a high-card board, and somebody picks you off with A-high, you are really screwed. Even idiots are gonna go "wow, what a crazy bluffer. He raised PF with nothing, bet the flop, turn and river with nothing. I'm gonna have to show him down with even a pair."
