He didnt bite.

I never said he did, I said that could've been one of his options.

I just think you guys are giving his opponents way too much credit... you have to remember he is playing .25/.50 at PokerStars and how many posts have we had here about the "donks on Stars". I think the all in is the most profitable move over time at those limits.

Love the strategy here, Ive put up a couple similar posts where theres been about $10 in the pot and I push for another $50 with the (near) nuts. The thing is, people love being the sheriff,and if they think they have a chance, or that you're stealing they go for it much more often than you think. As Fink said, and in my experience, it is more profitable to push with a ridiculous overbet and get called 1 in 10 times rather than to bet $3 and have them flat call. When they do bite you get a huge payoff, so keep tryin, m8. It is a fantastic strategy to use online, as people aren't as careful with their money in low limits.

Edit: If they fold, DO NOT SHOW YOUR HAND, make them think it might have
been a bluff and then when you try it again they may call.

A nice strategy that one - I normally whack in $10 bet on the river at that level if I have the nuts, to try and coax a call. But think I will try 'all in' from now on and keep a record of what happens.
