[QUOTE="xdmanx007, post: 394206, member: 889"] First of all TOP is probably the best all around book for poker games that have a structured limit although there is some NL stuff, it isn't the focus. [I]On semibluffs: I saw a guy check-3-bet the turn with an open-ended straight draw into two opponents yesterday. How's that for a semi-bluff? Is it good or bad? Why? [/I]This kinda misses the point about semi-bluffing. The situation in quotes is technically a "bluff". I will respond to semi-bluffing later because sem-bluffing is pretty easy to me and I will throw a bone about it later in the post. The point you suggest really is quite simple. The vast majority of players don't play their strong draws aggressively enough. The rest either fold too often or don't pay attention to ALL the cards on the board, example: paired boards mean get out of the way the majority of the time. From a math perspective you want to be in there raising your strong draws because you NEED the hand to payoff as much as possible to cover the times you miss or make a mistake. Plus you will be killing other drawing hand's drawing odds and will likely get them out of the way. From a deception perspective the overwhelming majority of inexperienced poker players don't even consider the possibility that you would be betting a draw. As such you are very likely to get paid off when you hit. Not a huge poster here anymore but every once in awhile great topics popup and semi-bluffin is one. IMHO once you get past the basics, semi-bluffing is the skill that will make you the most money against passive or inexperienced opponents! Semi-bluffs mean you have a hand just not an extremely strong one and will likely have outs to save you if you if you are wrong. Also large pots are not the time to be pulling a semi-bluff your opponents aren't going to away when there is a lot of money in the middle of the table. Well hopefully I made sense my head keeps bouncing off the desk maybe I can put some more into this post later today. [/QUOTE]
