Balancing Bluffs vs Balancing Strategy

[Divad Yksnal]

Jerrod writes, "One obvious example of this is the "arms race" on the turn in high limit LH games online. What developed there was a tendency after the sequence rc; kbrc; b? on two-flushed boards for people to semi-bluff raise liberally on the turn (including all flush draws, straight draws, and other weaker draws such as small pair+gutshot and the like)."

Recently? Not exactly "high" limit games online but the betting sequences you mention were happening in games way back when PlanetPoker was the biggest site. 20-40 was the biggest game. Short games had truly great players even then.

Math is fun, though, ain't it?
