Re: Bluffing the Flush
Let me first say that the player you are describing this manuever working on is not a sophisticated player. Any player that makes it obvious what he is holding based on his bet is a poor player. The bluff you are referring to isnt a new one. The twist here is the OESD, which I find can be effective on a suited board, if you are fairly sure your opponent isnt betting the flush draw. A sophisticated player would not only be betting hands he wanted to protect this way, but also the come as well. So assuming you have 8 outs or bluffing the flush can be very costly against a truly sophisticated player.
