Re: Random Bluff #2 from $1500 WSOP event
bruce,
of course i wouldnt, but AJ would stack off to me. If you are a standard tight player, reraising preflop and raising the flop only gets you action from hands you are behind. and on the river all you beat is a 3rd barrel from air....and occasionally AJ. Meanwhile you lose to AA/KK/JJ/77. How often is this a hand you beat v-betting realistically, and how often is it a bluff? keep in mind he's betting 20k into a 26k pot. IMO this is just not a bluff/thin v-bet more than 30% of the time.
The important point, of course, is that different players, based on styles will get different levels of action. I obv. from the way I play both give and get lots of action, so I can expand my raise for value range on the flop. Random live guy can't...so it seems to make sense to play his hand this way to me.
P.S. im with kramer on the tanking thing.
