Message: [QUOTE="pentazepam, post: 7111002, member: 46058"] It was not the bluffing but the calling that was the problem in this case. And if you bet with AK on a 222 board HU, it can be a value bet as much as a bluff if you bet small. Why bet big when the opponent doesn't fold any better hands? If you get called on this flop, you have to continue to rep a high pocket pair and bluff the turn (and maybe river) to get some lower pocket pairs to fold or give up. I'm not a big fan of "bluffing" one barrel with such a good hand as AK on a super "all or nothing board". Unless you go all the way as you would with AA and KK. But I would rather balance my range with a worse Ax. [/QUOTE]
