I don't know if I am the only one who does this? or if I have company... but one of my favorite things to do when I am playing online and have made a bluff or Semi-Bluff Raise is to ...
Talk to the Remaining Players in the Hand... As their clock clicks down, I constantly say things like... "No Shame In Folding!", Why Call-Off Your Stack with That Hand, When You Know You Are Beat?"
I know, I might be crazy, but it does seem to work a fair amount of the time, provided your story/play makes sense.
I will say, while it worked a couple times tonight in the Platinum Game, it did ultimately blow-up in my face, when I semi-bluffed with a small pocket pair and a pair on the board... after extra time, opponent ultimately called with an over pair... I could not improve on turn and river and to the rail I went. Oh well, so it goes! I was already doing ok, but if I get a fold, I am in very good shape at that point of the game, albeit, fairly early on.
Best of Luck at The Tables All,
