This pure bluff raise looks spectacular when it works.
But the math says never bluff raise from the fold area.

The bluff raise from the tail end of the call area does
better.

If that's what you meant by pure bluff, never pure bluff.

jogsxyz, Snowball is asking a gametheory question. All of your advice categorically runs contra to gametheory. You don't bluff a hand that gets +EV from calling on the river.

In gametheory, on the river, u only bluff raise from the "fold area" - or more precisely, hands that do not show a call value greater than zero - no where else. The math says that...and its completely contra to your advice.

Just do the math. Bluffing from the call region is higher EV than calling from the fold region.
