I feel like I'm missing something....I don't understand this at all.

Re: Semibluffing into a dry side pot
I hate this bet--it doesn't really free up any outs (immediately of course--sure the turn could have hit him then you hit river when you wouldn't have won otherwise) unless button had one of your cards. Furthermore, I find it hard to believe button folds getting over 4-1 often.

Re: Semibluffing into a dry side pot
Why? You'll probably get to see the turn and river cheap and if you DO hit your gutterball you'd like to have the 3rd player around to pay you off.

Re: Semibluffing into a dry side pot
If button folds, hero is freerolling on his gutshot. His pair outs may be good as well. This seems like it should be pretty standard to me.

Re: Semibluffing into a dry side pot
he's cleaning up his outs...so that a possible 6 or 9 will also win him the pot.

Re: Semibluffing into a dry side pot
I know why you did this, but it's just not enough of a reason. The odds that BB has a 9 or a 6, a 9 or 6 falls, and BB still doesn't win are much smaller (because of all the contingencies) than the odds that button calls this bet with a PP or a flush draw or something or an 8 (which costs you money, obviously).
