How often do you bluff? Do you feel like firing a 2nd barrel is an effective part of your arsenal? How often do you C-bet in Position, OOP?

[/ QUOTE ]

Outright outrageous no holds barred bluff extremely rarely. 2nd barrel every so often, but quite scarcely. I'll only ever do it if I think my read on the guy is very accurate. That said, it can be very effective when used wisely. I c-bet a lot. I'd say 90% of the time at least. Lately I've been toying with checking the flop in certain spots and I like the results so far. (E.g. A7o on an A93r board or 87s on a J72r board)

Swedish Chef? Never heard.

I have played golf when I was younger and it's something I want to start doing again. I quite enjoy it actually.

One of my first real shots at NL200 sitting 250BB deep I flopped top boat and he flopped quads. That one was pretty ugly.

Thanks for doing this.

1. Books such as NLTAP talk about bluffing an appropriate % of the time, so your opponents lose if they always call or or always fold to your bet. How important do you think it is to bluff (I mean pure bluffs, not semi, CB's, etc.) in SSNL with appropriate frequency? In other words, do you think there is much value lost if one never bluffs in SSNL?

2. If you've just sat down at a table of unknowns are there any "moves" that you are a bit more passive with? Examples may be that you don't 3 bet pre-flop with AK or AQ out of the blinds or you don't try to steal the blinds with weaker holdings, like Kx.

3. What are some of your favorite foods?

At 25NL no. At 200NL probably yes.

I try not to bluff unknowns. This doesn't include cbets. 2nd barrelling against unknowns I think is mostly spew. In general against unknowns I try to play a bit more straightforward.

Anything with chicken and rice. There's a vietnamese place near my house that I frequent maybe 4 times a week. Chinese, Thai, Indian are all good.

All time favourite food is nothing but Basmati rice smeared with Fountain Satay Sauce. No meat or vegetables, just rice and satay sauce.

Recently I read a post about the +EV of stealing Blinds, In position in NL cash games. Note I am not talking about raising with Ax in late position, but a flat out steal with any two cards in a pot that is folded to you in the button or CO. What is your feeling on this, and do you incorporate it in your game.
