biggsblind01: checks
Bonkers_9: checks
abu rami: checks

HERE I ATTACK VERY QUICKLY, betting the minimum bet. This sets up the idea that I'm slow playing them.

abu rami: folds
biggsblind01 collected 6225 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 6225 | Rake 0
Board [Kh 7s 7c 2c 5c]
Seat 1: Mtn Boar folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: Bone2523 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: RBC* folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 4: abu rami folded on the River
Seat 5: DallasMike folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: ILikeEggs folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: jammm2005 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: biggsblind01 (small blind) collected (6225)
Seat 9: Bonkers_9 (big blind) folded on the River

Try it out. It tends to work for me. Sometimes they'll even fold to the minimum bet, thinking that they're saving themselves bigger losses later. ~ Biggs

thanks for the advice. it is a art to bluff and setting it up right and it working is one step in winning big in a tourny. fun too... p. s. dead money players get knocked out alot with a bluf that didn't work.
