Tough to evaluate without knowing the players and situation coming into this hand. A bluff is more about playing the player.

From the one hand you protected the blaind, but ftom the other you risked all stack. His hands A10,AQ, AJ, I would throw down . Flop will be, off in a jiffy that he easily could in him get and you would take off from a tournament. Also all depends on your aggressiveness in a tournament. If you move every hand, a that decision is not faithful, if you play the pair of distributions a hour, that a rival can believe you. On the other hand this freroll and you must understand that game here and poker different things.

I do not recommend doing this. You could easily lose a third of the stack. Generally and it happens. If you had a dro it is quite another matter. I attitude to such actions negatively.

way to often, a big stack calling a re-raise has Ace and high kicker, or suited KQ/KJ/K10/QJ.
Many hands would take you out without hesitation..

If you truly had a straight chance you would actually probably try to take his money much more slowly. dangerous bluff, at least it paid off at the end

instead of just posting this, why not post your thought process in the hand itself, which is way more important than how you played this one hand. what reasons do you have for doing what you are doing?

Okay... I'll give this a go (for OP)..

I saw that bet & I still had chips so I hit the button on my mouse.
Oh ___t they called:(

When any flop comes I 'might' just hit my button again. Hit & pray!
YES!!! He folded.
Damn I am good :cool:

I should post this on the Cardschat Forum & ask them if they think this is good or not (cuz I KNOW it is good... but I just wants to hear it)

rating: 1/10

I gave you '1' because it somehow got through & villain was a monkey who would call a 3bet from a 20bb stack with something they weren't planning on continuing with.

There's just a gazillion better spots than something like this (imo). Working at identifiying those 'spots' takes experience, practise, & skill. Something I doubt was involved while choosing this spot.

It is a good spot. He can and probably should raise any 2 from button with that flop it is hard for him to do anything vs your continuation without the goods so I like it.

If you think this is a good spot (as hand was played) I wish you alot of luck.

I like the raise that narrows down your range but I feel the bet on the flop reeks more like a c-bet and lacks conviction. If you did have AK and you did make the str8 would you half pot raise? I would probably 3 bet (check raise) you on the flop after sensing weakness/uncertainty as my range could also include AK from our pre-flop action.

Have you thought about what you would do then?

Ah yes, I see you already answered my question. I would win this pot then, tx. =)

All I can say is, if you're going to bluff do it with conviction. Anything more than 60% pot would show strength. Perhaps you didn't have to raise to 4k pre-flop (villain min raised to 1.6K) you could've gone for slightly below double say 3K or even 2.9K which will give you a smaller pot (7K instead of 9K) to barrel on the flop and your same 4.8K raise would've seemed very strong.

If you think this is a good spot (as hand was played) I wish you alot of luck.

I give you 10/10 for being condescending but you get 1/10 for being helpful. Based on your vast experience, practice & skill what do you see wrong with the play and how would you rather see it executed instead? But I guess that requires people skills, something that was clearly not involved in making these posts.

I'd suggest reading a book.. or keep giving that A+ advice & help OP to lose.

YOu think OP's line suggests weakness? He's leaving himself 10bb's behind after betting flop. (would this even seem like he's ever possibly folding??? I know he states in this thread that he had intentions of folding with 10bb's behind.. feeling this was a good playable stack still.. BUT would any 'typical/knowledgeable/decent' player be doing this?).
So because you read that OP would bet/fold flop (which is crazy).. then your 3bet (check raise) << whatever that is?? (How do you 'check-raise' when you're in position?) would make it so you win, thanks ???

I'd rate your answer 0.000001/10 (I'm only giving you that good of a score because on the off chance that OP might actually read something into your response & mistakenly think there's something of value there... which in turn might get them to lose more money on the tables (which I guess can be seen as good... although not 'that' good... considering it only got you a 0.000001 instead of a 0.000002

I don't like the play. I don't see any reason to potentially bluff off your entire stack with 84 with 20BB left. You should be restealing a lot at this point, but that doesn't mean that you should be doing it with just about any 2 cards. 84 is definitely not a hand worth playing under most circumstances.

it's not a bad spot if the button is extremely aggro and you want to play a polarized range vs him, but we're getting really short and this flop hits his 3bet call range pretty well so... 4/10 IF you have reads to back it up. Try to have more chips to do these smaller 3bets with medium-small stacks and make sure you have a really good read that the button opens light and folds often, cos we really don't want this to get postflop that often.
