GaF Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Are you particularly proud of the way you played a hand? Is it a text book example to others of how to make a check-raise bluff? Then post the hand history and thoughts and let us see :ok We dont care about results - whether you win or lose the hand is of no significance, whether you make money/chips or lose, makes no difference to the strength of your play - we dont want your bad beats here ;) Note: By posting your hand here you are inviting feedback, annalysis and comment from others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Re: Classy Plays - CheckRaise Bluff Nice idea Gaf?. :ok We don't care about results - whether you win or lose the hand is of no significanceI also think that results based hand discussions is something we should be getting away from, but surely check/raise bluffs are only good ones if you pulled off the bluff (i.e. win the hand)? I can't think of any instances where I've pulled this off, got my hand caught in the cookie jar and thought, "I did that well". EDIT:Unless it sets you up for a play that pays off later on?

GaF Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Re: Classy Plays - CheckRaise Bluff Agreed - can't think of many scenarios where your bluff is called and it was a good play - ultimately your judgement on what the other player would do is at fault - so maybe when you bluff it is a more results orientated scenario than other plays :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermonkey1 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Re: Classy Plays - CheckRaise Bluff i did a good check raise bluff in one of last months pl league games:ok unfortunately i haven't got the hand history but i did show it :)and luckily i can remember my side of the hand but i can't remember the opponent :wall,hopefully they may remember it. i am on the bb with 83 blinds were on 25/50 i think 2 limpers and the sb call flop comes 7 10 j rainbow sb checked ,as did i ,the 1st limper then bets pot size ,limper2 folds, so does the sb. at this point i decided the opponent probably has one of aj ,a10,kj or k 10 so i decide to raise but only to 500 chips .i thought that the just over min raise would look stronger than the big check raise ,look like i had 89 and wanted a caller. the opponent took a lot of time then said "you have me beat"then folded,so i thought i'd show it and said "maybe not" i was very pleased with this hand and i'd love to know if my read was correct on the other player,hopefully they will remember it:hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
