Overbetting the pot: Fnord is a genius

[mcatdog]

Thank you Fnord! The all-in river "bluff" worked very well for me last night, I got at least two really terrible calls.

Tourney poker post-flop has a fairly different flavor to it though...

once it gets to the river it shoudlnt make much of a difference.

In tournaments you usually don't get to the river without someone being pot committed already.

hahahaha that's great...
I've gotta try that sometime. I love $25 into a $15 pot.

I like over-betting flops and turns too.

HAMMER!

Lukie raises from the CO to $4. He's got a couple pretty cards or is just feeling frisky. Anyway, he plays a few more hands than I do.

I cold-donk it from the BN with a couple cards because I think I'm getting the best of it taking a flop with Lukie's hand.

Blinds chicken out.

Flop is Q J 7

Lukie Bets $5 because he still has 2 cards and I might feel like folding.
I raise to $30 because I don't feel like folding....

OMG OMG did he fold? Did he call? Did he have JJ?

usually good semi bluffs followed by a "bluff" make it look like a real bluff against any kind of thinking player

also going all-in on 599xx flops on the river when you hold pocket 5s isn't such a bad idea either, that 9 won't fold most of the time

I go to flop with JdTd (button) with other 4 opponents, flopped flushdraw with Ad on board, completed flush on turn. UTG bets 1/3 blocking bet, CO calls and I slam all-In (70BB to 30BB pot). UTG mucks instantly, CO thinks, thinks, thinks and....calls his entire stack - with TT pocket underpair!

Those lemmings will not call small v-bets but are suckers for big pushes and I'd like to know WHY do they call such a sick bets and fold to ordinary v-bets?

"You're bluffing buddy, CALL, oh shit you have a hand... REBUY!"
