Semi Bluff
Alright this question needs to be pre-luded by a hand that happened in a home game SnG.
We play these two times weekly: $50 and 8 players.
So theres 4 players left in. UTG a Gus Hansen like strategist, yet not as effective with $80. On the Button is a supertight/passive player with $64. I'm in the SB for $2 with $206 (I play and almost Erick Lindgren and Daniel Negraneu sort of game...I see a lot of flops and mix it up after flop usually outplaying my opponent). And in the BB for $4 is a player who will call any pre-flop raise with anything, with $40 in chips . He also never raises, no matter the situation. Very easy to read as well, because he is very chatty and stops talking when he has a hand worth playing.
UTG and the button fold to me, I raise it to $10 with A4s. He calls with
36os. Flop: 4 5 J rainbow. I lead out for $15 knowing that I'll likely take the pot down there(every pot that he and I are heads-up, I lead out for 3/4 pot). H then makes perhaps the worst play I've seen in awhile, he calls of 50% of his stack with a straight draw. Immediately I put him on a straight draw and plan on pushing in another $15 if a card higher than an 8 hits. When a K comes off on the turn I finished the bet and watch as he folds as expected.
I go on to win the Sng and $300. Now here's the question: If you were in the BB's situation, how would you have played that hand?
I personally would have pushed all in against a player like me who likes to bluff frequently. And even if I do call his push, he stil has a decent chance of making his hand.
