When playing against better competition, I have found it very profitable to "value bluff" after the river in certain siuations where I am certain I am beat. I call it a "value bluff" because it is a bluff that screams VALUE BET!!! You can imagine various situations where this will come up, but has anyone else used this tactic? How has it worked?

You mean putting opponents that don't think past first level on a range of hands and betting more than they can profitably call with their presumed range?

I think he means betting 1/3 pot on the river to look like a value bet.

 you mean the "optimal bluffing strategy" bluff?
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.
