Re: EPT Barcelona, Bluffing and Catching bluffs
[ QUOTE ]
In my mind, when I saw the guy in hand 4 looking around and looking at the pot, it just felt like he was screaming out that he was trying to build up the courage to take the pot away from what was obv a marginal hand.

OK. I feel like his turn tell is the opposite though. A pretty strong hand that's really unhappy with the flush hitting.
Why do you think your hand is obviously marginal just by checking the flop first to act in a 5 way pot?
I can see why it looks marginal after you just call.
Even if you think he's FOS enough to call, you've got 2 or 3 people left to act behind you, and you're giving them great odds.
If you felt like he was really working up the courage to bluff, did you expect he'd continue bluffing on the turn and river?
If not, given how weak your hand is, why not raise the flop, push out any draws behind you, and make him fold?
Even bluffs have quite a bit of equity against your hand, and you've giving ones that give up on the turn 2 free cards.
