I love double belly-busters. All the advantage of the open ended straight draw on the semi-bluff, with considerable more expected value when it hits in terms of implied odds.

I guess not much to say, except I agree. Though I seem to lke them alot more erly in a MTT or SNG than later. But in cash games it's always good to see.

Only downside to them is that if you make a straight it may not be the nuts. I like double belly gut shots more of then open ended straight draw

Its defo a good semi-bluff hand as long as it is used properly.

At end of day its a bluff and you are making it to make opponent fold but have outs if he doesnt. You dont want to semi bluff knowing for sure he/she will call for sure because then you are just gambling!

If betting patterns/situation doesnt suit sometimes its better to get the draw cheap
