.25/.50 LO8: bluff river 3 handed?

CarlosChadha · #1 08-01-2007, 01:28 PM

I bet the turn as a semi-bluff, planning to bluff the river if I missed and the action was heads up. Since the pot was 3 handed, I decided to save my money. Was I correct against typical low limit opposition? If I had been in last position and both players had checked to me, I think a bluff might have been better, but I'm still not sure it would be +EV...what is your experience on a draw heavy board when non of the draws come in?

Regards,
Carlos

Its impossible to judge at the low limits, if you played bigger you can be pretty sure no one has a Q or J going with his low draw because you would get check-raised for sure. But at the low-limits some guys will not get agro unless they have a clinch but call alot instead.

I would try it anyway and I think you should also. Just to see what they had and are willing to call on river.

Yeah no one folds on river in a 3-way pot and 5-way it would be absolutly impossible to make them all fold.

I erased my hand from history.
