Because it's infinitely better when villain misses and then folds. Matt Flynn explains this well in his new book but this hand does an incredible job of demonstrating how the concept applies in the real world.

way to pump up the rake, fish

Re: 1968 to 1 (always leave yourself enough to run a river bluff)
 

So good.

Re: 1968 to 1 (always leave yourself enough to run a river bluff)
 

A hand like this comes down to your supreme ability to not misclick versus his ability to not misclick. You have a hand where better hands always call if theyre thinking, so you need to exploit him in other ways.

If you're focussed on one table and had a very secure internet connection, i'd leave myself the extra quarter to bluff the river in case he's multi tabling and isnt paying close attention.

If you're on 6+ tables or you occasionally suffer from timeouts (and are out of disconnect protects), you should shove it in asap.

So glad that i play the minbet and dont have to deal with deep, sophisticated strategies like this.


Id you had 65s then you should leave yourself with that extra quarter for sure, in the rare event he has a shittier high card and doesnt want to embarass himself calling 8 high, or whatever.

Re: 1968 to 1 (always leave yourself enough to run a river bluff)
 

personally, I like it when they fold getting like 100:1 on the flop....

Give your fish opponent 25 cents and he will love you forever.

how can you knock this guy here? You obviously had aces

haha yeah me tricked him

Re: 1968 to 1 (always leave yourself enough to run a river bluff)
 

Looks like you lost out on that 25 cents. Until you learn to maximize your EV in situations like this you will never become a top player.

Re: 1968 to 1 (always leave yourself enough to run a river bluff)
 

Villain folded to a push. I don't see what the big deal is.

Re: 1968 to 1 (always leave yourself enough to run a river bluff)
 

hyachachach

I'm walking into such an obvious level here, but he had $5.40 left...

my plan was to c/r allin on flop and the ol' 2x pot overbet leave yourself with 1bb behind just wasn't going to phase me.

Re: 1968 to 1 (always leave yourself enough to run a river bluff)
 

folding any hand here is terrible just for the information value alone. and also so u dont look like a tard on a poker forum. thus this leads me to believe he prolly mis clicked.

ummmm apparently you didnt see the part where he folded on the river.....if yoooou look at previous posts in this thread you will see it was for .25 cents.

P.s. villian ran his timer down to 2 seconds then folded.

PSS^^^^^^^ didnt actually run timer down, but woulda been a riot!
