Re: Classy Plays - Great Bluffs Hello Caker - thanks mate, you could say it was in the blood! :) Used to play at the Vic a lot but then started playing the private games around London (which was a mistake due to the too-high buy-ins). Only really play tourns live now. Next stop Nottingham next week! :ok

Re: Classy Plays - Great Bluffs From the DTD Ann. Cup last Thursday night. I defend my BB a lot, sometimes with jank in order to prove a point, it works sometimes too - it can discourage stealing. Cut-off (stack 28 kish) made 1100 (or thereabout), folded to me (18k ish) in the BB (400) with 83o. I call, the chap is a decent player and agressive pre-flop but I thought I may be about to out-play post-flop. We'd tangled nicely a few times and I'd just got the better of him so far. Flop was JKK. I check, he bets 1300. I min-raise with my 8 high to 2600. He then re-re-raises to 5800 (another 3200) or thereabouts. :unsure I come back over the top again, raised another 5k. He mucked, I flipped over the 83o. The logic behind it was, I knew he would orginially think I was putting a play on him with the min-raise. Therefore I didn't think his re-reraise meant anything. It was that sort of game, we were reading each other well. I was certain it would take take just one extra bet. Ok, it's tough to learn anything as such from this example as such but it proves the importance of your table image, how others perceive you and what state the game is currently in. All three factors are important when bluffing as we all know. He later told me he also had nothing also (ace high). We both played the hand well, I just played it slightly better. ;) Probably the "hand of my life"....so far.

Re: Classy Plays - Great Bluffs Nice play - you make a very valid point, table image is so important. Your situation reminded me of a wonderful moment in the EPT Monte Carlo from a few years ago when Paul JAckson was heads up with Phil IVey. They were re-raising with total air, eventually Ivey takes it down with an all-in. Magnificent poker. I'm sure it will be on You Tube. How did you get on in the end ?

Re: Classy Plays - Great Bluffs I just love that I was able to play this out 100% how I wanted.... this play knows me as LAG in late position and I know he can be rather tight in early pos... I am almost 100% he is using that.... in HU situation with no one else to act I have only seen him raise or fold (once he called with AKo but I feel this may have been mixing it up more than anything)... there is added value in the pot from somebody folding in a forced post so I am almost obligated to raise.... he asks the questions... and I give him the answer that fits... ***** Hand 1354541519 ***** 0.25/0.50 Texas Hold'em (No Limit) - Tuesday, 9 December 2008 6:18:07 AM Table TH 538 (Real/Cash Game) Seat 4: RayPenber (103.55) Seat 6: Dr.Furman (45.75) Seat 5: ermakeahPP (54.12) Seat 10: SuperBowl (48.00) Seat 1: Sohucasino (61.98) Seat 2: IOL0wntre (8.50) Seat 3: JCYF1 (39.62) Seat 7: Christ_LPP (48.20) Seat 8: -Niko- (52.30) ermakeahPP post SB 0.25 Dr.Furman post BB 0.50 ** Deal ** RayPenber [4s, 3h] Dr.Furman [N/A, N/A] ermakeahPP [N/A, N/A] SuperBowl [N/A, N/A] Sohucasino [N/A, N/A] IOL0wntre [N/A, N/A] JCYF1 [N/A, N/A] Christ_LPP [N/A, N/A] -Niko- [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** Christ_LPP Fold -Niko- Fold SuperBowl Fold Sohucasino Fold IOL0wntre Fold JCYF1 Fold RayPenber Raise to 1.50 ermakeahPP Fold Dr.Furman Call 1.50 *** Flop(Board): *** : [3c, Ah, 8h] *** Bet Round 2 *** Dr.Furman Bet 2.62 RayPenber Raise to 6.50 Dr.Furman Call 6.50 *** Turn(Board): *** : [3c, Ah, 8h, 8s] *** Bet Round 3 *** Dr.Furman Check RayPenber Check *** River(Board): *** : [3c, Ah, 8h, 8s, 6d] *** Bet Round 4 *** Dr.Furman Check RayPenber Bet 7.00 Dr.Furman Fold *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.80 Total Pot: 15.70 RayPenber By default Win: 15.70 Dr.Furman Fold Win: 0.00 ermakeahPP Fold Win: 0.00 SuperBowl Fold Win: 0.00 Sohucasino Fold Win: 0.00 IOL0wntre Fold Win: 0.00 JCYF1 Fold Win: 0.00 Christ_LPP Fold Win: 0.00 -Niko- Fold Win: 0.00
