Re: Bluffing the Flush

Flopping an OESD and representing it as a flush draw is something I do quite frequently. When I do make the straight I usually get a free ride to valuetown and bluffing when I hit my "fold equity...

Re: Are Online Short Sessions Rude?

There's no problem with short sessions anywhere. It's your own money, whether or not it formerly belonged to someone else. If you feel like leaving then do so, you don't owe anything to anyone.

Re: NL50 AQo makes a str8 but gets raised on the river.

I'd probably check/call smallish bet on turn. You're probably beaten but might have some outs. I don't think check/folding to a PSB is that bad or weak, OOP and a marginal hand that's possibly...
