Re: 2-4 blind battle w/ flush draw
I don't mind it, Pete. You've got the Q blocker for the straight and there's really only one hand that can call this - KK. TTxx would be retarded as it wouldn't have gone past the turn so unless he's got the 2nd nuts, he'll be finding this near impossible to call.

in my experience once they call the turn here, they are just never folding

If I had a PSB left in my stack I probably wouldn't have bothered firing the river at all. But with a half-psb, I'm getting a pretty good price on the bluff, and (maybe?) it looks stronger than a half-PSB when I have more chips behind. |

You have to know this player too right? You didn't do this vs a complete unknown I take it?

Is this one of the hands you sent me Pete?
FWIW I agree with this: [ QUOTE ] in my experience once they call the turn here, they are just never folding [/ QUOTE ] |

[/ QUOTE ] I would guess I have a very aggressive image. But that cuts both ways -- I could definitely be bluffing, but I could also be value-betting pretty thin. And of course the fact that he's getting good odds cuts both ways as well -- on the one hand you'd think he'd call, but on the other hand he might think I wouldn't try to bluff him when he's so "obviously" pot-committed. plus, of course, it means I'm getting good odds. |

Re: 2-4 blind battle w/ flush draw
Obviously he is more likely to call you if you have a pretty aggressive image. You may need a PSB on the river to pull this off if he had a decent but not great hand.
If you plan on firing on the river regardless of what comes out, I like TheRempel's idea of betting less on the turn in order to have a PSB on the river. The smaller than pot bet on the turn may look scarier than a PSB too. |
