Think he might have had me beat but after I re-raised representing the queen I felt confident he would fold and went for it.

Fault always lies in the same place, my fine babies: with him weak enough to lay blame.

The only trouble with bluffing is being believed. You would think that as a relatively tight player, who is easily seen to "have the goods" when I bet big. So when I miss the the J33 flop with AK having raised big before the flop, doing the old check raise bluff in response to a BB sized should be pretty convincing at a quite a bit over the size of the pot. Nope, the guy with 99 just didn't have the vision.

I will be doing this stunt again one day, but not soon, and maybe only at a higher buy in SnG, where there is more chance of convincing people.

But if anyone wants to know why the title of this thread is a request that should be viewed with caution, this is typical of the reason why.

Did I say anything about giving up the rest of my bluff repetoire? Read more carefully

Heh..I won all of 4 hands this session - granted, it was a short session, but still less hands than usual...I came out on top all because of this hand:
