I have decided to name a poker move after myself.

Verb: to strass

Definition: to check raise bluff a river where the opponents remaining stack is less than his river bet.

For example, you check, villain bets 2500, and folds for 2000 more.

I dont think its too much to ask if i can just name this after myself, thanks! Does anyone have any strassings they can post?

I played a hand on UB a month ago:

25-50.

Villain bets 300 I call with 86s.

Flop A97 two clubs, i have no clubs.

I lead 300, he calls.

Turn blank 4. I bet 900, he calls.

River comes A, does not complete flush.

I check, he bets 2700 and I CR all in, he folds for 2000 more.

This seems like a play better left to the experts...

To clarify, must you be fairly sure that your raise will result in a fold, or does a desperate attempt at going bust so you can go do something else only to have your opponent fold also count as a strass?
