Sounds to me more like a variation on the theory, if you miss the flop and have chance to bet first then bluff. You could say that unless the 2 comes on the flop, 22 will almost always miss and so you have to go for it, especially against a raggy flop. But I dunno. Other people tell you not to get married to hands that miss the flop. And yet more people say if you bluff once you should be prepared to follow through with another bluff if you get called. The other people then think you are a bigger idiot for being even more married to a hand that missed when you get beat. And when you have just lost a bundle you tend to think they have a point. I try it both ways because I'm not sure who to believe. So it will depend on how confident I'm feeling and how tough the opposition is. Tough opposition is easier to bluff as they have the imagination to figure out what you are representing. Whatever, I always seem to get it wrong, I always seem to be bluffing into the nuts or I'm checking AK down only to find a junk hand pairs the river and the bluff on the flop would have worked. Drives me crazy, especially when I see hands like the above when the guy just got lucky. To quote a blues song, if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. |
