Message: [QUOTE="Xandit, post: 394733, member: 7261"] I have found that the semibluff is quite an advanced play. more so than i ever thought it could be. i like Joosebuck's statements on the semibluff - When a scare card on the next street will make them fold the best hand. - When you hit the card you need. - When they immediately fold defense against the semibluff is very hard to do. I understand the raising aspect of the book, yet i've found that it can be a hard play to make.It makes sense that calling is the worst option that we have facing a semibluff. If we just call we have no information on our opponet. It seems to me that pot odds also mandate the semibluff/defense. It creates a lot more swings and variance than i am used to. I still have a hard time betting when i don't have the best of it. It's an aspect that i am working on. [/QUOTE]
