Once he took three then you should not have taken any.

Hero is in the SB, so he acts first. By the time Villain draws three, it's too late for Hero to (reactively) pat-bluff.

Are you saying that Hero should pat-bluff *before* he knows how many cards Villain is going to draw?

agreed.

There were some interesting concepts in that other thread. I think you have some more options about how to play it in a pot-limit game.

What does "ballpark" mean? It sounds like the Norwegian word "ballespark", but I guess it means something else.

[img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] i guess thats an american term, if something is estimated rough;y, you can say its a "ballpark guess", or "its in the same ballpark". probably from baseball?

ex)
"man, your wife has huge boobs! are they D-cups?"
"no no, but they're a big C"
"oh yeah, same ballpark. they're real nice though!"

as i think about it more, i dont really understand where this expression comes from, its doesnt make much sense [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

and BALLESPARK sounds dirty. a gay porn title? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Yeah, "ballpark" literally is a baseball stadium. The usual non-literal meaning is to indicate that your guess about something is relatively close.

I like Big Limpin's example.

Maybe this isn't relevant to poker, but here goes...

I'm not really into gay porn, but I guess that some sick people would like to watch males getting kicked in the balls/nuts. (spark = kick)

My mistake. Correction appreciated.
