Classy Plays - Great Bluffs

[GaF]

Are you particularly proud of the way you played a hand? Is it a text book example to others of how to make a Great 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, analysis and comment from others How do you distinguish your great bluff from a numptie just shoving and praying? You maybe need more than one hand to be posted, with your comments/thoughts - to show the history that led you to make the decision, that made it more than a shove and pray.....

Re: Classy Plays - Great Bluffs okay mines in this months pp from washys hilly home game but i thought i would run through my side of the hand:ok. first off my table image was at the time was tight aggressive i hadn't played many hands ,those that i had didnt reach showdown.also bar 3 players i had played all the rest quite a bit and have a fairly tight image(i think) my stack was about 3k blinds were 100/200 as i was utg+1 i knew a raise would almost certainly be taken as a strong hand so a steal would work unless somebody had a good hand . if i was reraised i had enough to fold and still be ok .also i new i would be acting first post flop so if i got a caller and the flop looked unfavourable for the opponent i could probably take it down with a bet. and i wanted to win the ipod ;)i guessed a 72 would do the trick so i bet 600 as i turns out i did get a caller,washy took a little while to decide to call.this helped me a little as i put him on a j ,a 10,k j territory or maybe mid pp.dunno if i was right about that but i dont think i am to far off. anyway with the flop coming q 3 3 i quickly pushed all in.i was pretty sure he didnt have any of that flop and i know he cant call unless he has at least kq ,and i reckon he would have called a little quicker pre flop with that so i took the risk. luckily the bluff got through and if hilly called it ballsy i reckon it's gotta go in the classy plays section:nana.
