 1/3 pot. It's a blocking bet and is one that's raised if beat. Hope for a fold, but you can't check here because you'll want to fold to any bet more than $15. Keep the betting on your side.


Girlfriend: Why are the werewolves more important than living life?!

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

Slightly off-topic, but I happy to create a new thread if you prefer nogenius...

How do you keep your blocking bets from getting automatically raised by an observant opponent? I guess you should occasionally make a blocking-sized bet instead of a value-sized bet, but I never see that play advocated here. Can anyone come up with instances where you might make a blocking-sized bet for deception?

Perhaps if you are against an aware opponent that has repeatedly raised your blocking bets, you could make a blocking-sized bet with a monster so your opp raises and you can 3-bet? It would be better than value-betting outright, since opp would probably not call that bet.

When I have tried this it hasn't worked out, but putting out a "fake block bet" is a good way to induce a bluff...probably only works in very very aggressive games though.

In the free video at cardrunners.com, the commentator is playing someone on tilt. he flops a set of 7 in a reraised pot and I think he bet/calls, an ace hits the turn, he check/calls, then pauses and puts out a tiny "block bet" and the opp bluffs all in.

op - river sucks, but I also would block/thin-value bet there...not too many opps have the balls to raise on a bluff.
