Message: [QUOTE="viking999, post: 333242, member: 5897"] Let's not forget that late position helps in bluffing by letting you get a good read on your opponents. If everyone checks or there's only a very weak bet on the board, you know that your bluff has a good chance of succeeding. However, if there's AAK down and people are betting heavily, you should sit it out. One thing I have found from time to time is that if I'm the dealer, everyone checks, and I bet, a lot of the time I'll get called, because people assume I'm bluffing just because of my position. Has anyone else encountered this? It's not all the time, but sometimes there's just a player or two who is obsessed with calling out bluffers and will always call in this case. When I find this happening, I just turn it to my advantage by betting more with strong hands on the button, thus getting more return on those hands. Because of this, I sometimes prefer being one behind the dealer for bluffing. [/QUOTE]
