Default Re: An Alternative Play When Inducing Bluffs/Bets

James,
I don't play in the aggressive online environment, rather I play in the loose passive live milieu, and what you have posted here is very interesting to me if you look at it from the live perspective. Think about switching the roles in the case of a live table. The aggressive player is actually the 2+2er who hasn't quite adjusted to the passive opponents, and the passive opponents end up playing a lot like what you are suggesting here.

I have seen, and experienced personally, many times where an aggressive (possibly even TAG) player keeps betting while the 'fishy' loose passive player keeps calling. They go to showdown and the fish shows third pair and the more aggressive "better" playing player mucks.

Would you agree that the tactic that you've posted here that is potentially effective in an online game can be 'reversed' to help us understand what we might wish to avoid against a passive live game, or am I just confused?
