Good bluff against a bad player, which perhaps makes it a bad bluff. I don't know.

It's a good bluff, but you can't bluff out an idiot.

[Rondavu]

The idiot had a pair of aces with an adequte kicker against an overaggressive opponent, and was sitting on a low stack. The idiot read the situation perfectly. I hereby award the idiot with bling.

You know I like ya spino, but the only idiot here was the guy who didn't believe when he was called for $15 on the turn, and then tried to employ fold equity he didn't have against a lowstack. On top of that you repped a straight that a preflop raiser would likely NOT have.

good bluff/bad player...nothing you can do about it

[Tim Vecchioni]

his mind was obviously set on getting his money in with that hand..

Well, you could argue that a good bluff is one where the other player is likely to fold.

Calling stations aren't likely to fold any mediocre hand, he obviously has at least a pair of aces here, and is evidently a calling station.

Sorry saxton, I thought you were the thread starter for some reason.
