faking a bet/fold, but actually bet/call with a marginal bluff catcher

[paperboyNC]

I just reread Sklanksy's NL book yesterday and he says many times:

"Big pots and big bets are for big hands"

You hardly have a big hand. While it's good to mix up your play, it seems that playing like this is a recipe to go broke quick.

Were you on tilt or were you winning this day?

If you can't play big marginal pots once in a while, you're going to get run over.

looks good. i prefer to do it with a bigger hand, but this is probably fine if he hasnt seen you do it before. but dont expect him not to shove AK or better here, you definitely will get valuestacked sometimes.

i like the thought process. u might have leveled ureself at ssnl, but its definitely good to be thinking this way

just keep him on his toes. against many aggressive and decent players, you're better off tricking them into spewing by feigning weakness than you are by waiting for big hands and trying to trap them with c/r's and such.
