    Default inducing a bluff with an overpair

    This is a somewhat standard play for me but I decided to show this to you because we had some discussion about not betting on river in order to induce a bluff against a hand that wouldnt other wise put a dime in to the center. Also if he really had the flush I am saving a lot of money here. I didnt see any reason to bet that river. Looking at the results, I would have bet if I knew his hand. His bet is just ridiculous with a made hand IMO. Worse hands will fold and better hands will call. Text book example here folks.

    that was an awful raise at the end there. it's just way to far in the middle of a value bet for his full house and a valid stab at the pot that anyone who made a PRF for $16 would fold. great call, i feel you ping.
    In answer to your question... it depends...

    I wouldnt call this call great. I had my mouse on the call button right after I checked. If he has a boat there good for him. I pay it off every time here.

    I could understand if he was bluffing with unimproved cards, other than AK or sorts, but that wasnt a value bet either. Just really stupid play on this part.
