Showing Bluff Theory

[CrAcK_N_CoKe]

I just wanna talk about something.
Suppose you are in a game , winning , and u made some crazy good bluffs and showed the majority of them and sometimes u also show some good hands.Theres also one players u bluffed more often than the others cuz u have position on him.
Than after a while u slow down a bit and suddendly u find yourself on the river with a pretty good hand but not a hand u would invest your stack with normally against an unknown who was not very aggressive the last 25 minutes.( ex: QJ on 2387J rainbow )
If u have like 17$ and he shoved river for 8$ after he bet on every street , do u think hes MORE likely to bluff cuz u showed him a lot of bluff in his face or do u think hes less likely to do it and he was just waiting for a hand.

I would not get to the river if I have QJ on a 2387J board if he bets every street [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

At these limits, everything is personal. Showing bluffs will tilt your opponents and they'll make mistakes. I'd have to take a look at your math, but yeah, villain could be calling down light if he doesn't like you.

Rarer still would be the guy who's bet into you on three streets with air because you bluff too much. We wait for good hands against donkeys, we don't push their "raise me" buttons.

I think you should stop showing hands if you don't know what impact it will have on your image.

of course he is more likely to bluff you because of the image you setup. if you're not ready and able to adjust to the playback you setup with showing bluffs, you shouldn't be doing it
