Well if so you could be in luck!
I'd like to discuss bluffing and I don't mean flop cbets, I mean big, scary, stack killing bluffs. Problem is that no one ever posts them. I guess it's the fear of looking stupid or something. So to overcome the fear, I'll give an incentive to post your bluffs and your thought process; straight cash homey.
$15 (on FTP) to the person who best talks about and demonstrates bluffing.
A few additional rules:
1. Cash games only. Shoving all your chips in a tourney is easy. I mean it's a tourney, who cares?
2. Effective stacks must be 100bb or greater and you need to at least put a committing portion of them in jeopardy.
3. I'll pick the winner on Sunday.
4. You don't have to win the hand to use it (in fact for the lolz it might better your chances if you shoved an underpair into quads or something) but if the bluff was successful that's fine too.
5. Your post MUST contain a HH. If you forge it, I'll contact Stars and FTP to turn on your doomswitches.
Here are a couple of HHs to illustrate the types of hands I'm looking to see:
Guess he didn't see the Ace on the board???
