Brag: why we show bluff

[fsoyars]

Full Tilt $75 DS last night. Two consecutive orbits folded to me in the SB against the same BB. I've been aggro and in the first hand run a crazy bluff in a huge pot with complete air... and show. Better believe he was steaming. Next orbit it's folded to me again the SB and this time I pick up KK.... heh heh. [censored] like this makes up for ten bad beats.

we'd been warring and i had him on a wide range. most importantly i knew on the turn that he had me on a very wide range as well, including my actual hand: complete air.

honestly i'm not goint to try and defend this gross bluff as a profitable play except to say that i'm playing the player and the situation here, i'm aware of how he views me and i feel he has some kind of mediocre hand, he doesn't want to be pushed around, yet he also can't call off (almost) all his chips with it. so maybe it's only my read here that makes this +ev.
