The Well: TOO EAZY!

I've been doing it too and it's definitely +EV.
As long as your comfortable playing shorthanded though, b/c they can stay 3-6players for a while.

Starting new ones lets me pick PL too, which is awesome b/c PL is ez.

This looks like solid value betting to me.

Sick cooler.

Are you leveling me calling this a bluff?

The more of us who do it the better for all.

Cooperative exploitation of the art of the hustle is beautiful.

I'm happy if they stay HU. The players that sit are short stacked and terrible. Nice combination imo. I won probably a bi last night playing 2-4 handed. I would love to discuss some game dynamics of short handed play with someone with more experience. Most of my experience comes from SNG's

Lol I think I am the one being leveled here. But I was trying to make it look like solid value betting even though I was sure he had me beat (calling check-raise on turn). However, I was also sure he was pretty weak (and he was) and thought I had repped the boat perfectly. Apparently a pair of nines weak kicker was just too good to let go!

I wasn't level'ing.

This looks like value betting to me, but maybe I play bizarrely.

In other news, I don't like "bluffing" for the sake of bluffing on this board.
