Topic: Bluffing Theory part deux Forum: Card Chat

I would suggest that betting the King in this experiment is only a "semi-bluff". I occasionally get accused at the table of "bluffing" when I'm holding a decent drawing hand, like a double-gutshot, open-ended, or four-flush. That's not technically an outright bluff, as I'm betting to build the pot toward the prospect of eventually making my hand and getting a decent pay-off. Representing the Q in your bet as the A or K would be a true bluff, because you know you're holding the worst possible hand with no chance of improvement.

So, given the h2h 3-card scenario here, I think position rules. Whether I'm the first to act or not is going to dictate how I play the A,K, or Q as much as (or more than) the actual card I'm holding.
