Message: [QUOTE="theANMATOR, post: 6414607, member: 377741"] I'm being a little silly here - but is Value Bluffing a thing? Anyone care to explain - or poke fun. :) 1.10 buy-in 1k gtd. We are ITM with 40 remaining out of a field of 700+. I pick up Aces in the SB with a standard TAG opener UTG+2 to 2.1bb. He has 35bb and I only have 15 after I make the call. I elected to just call here because there was a short stack (9bb) in the big blind I thought might jam any Ace, any pockets , but to my surprise guy just calls. He must be listening to the crock of crap going about on defending your blinds wide regardless of stack size. Anyway - we are 3 ways to the flop which was a total blank board - something like T 4 2 rainbow. I elect to check hoping for a small bet from the pre-flop opener so I could in turn tiny raise. Sadly it checked all around. The turn completed the rainbow with a Queen, so I decided here to bet out small. something like 2.4bb. Big blind player folded and the original preflop opener tank called - like 20 seconds. Now I know this could mean anything right - he was peeing, he ran to fill up his coffee cup, he had to let the dog out, or he is multi-tabling and - for any reason was making decisions on other tables. But - IDK (poker physic!!) it felt like this guy did not have a queen. I felt good about the call - and figured I was in a good spot to take this pot down. The river is another queen. I have like 11bb left and I decided to check. This guy again tanks for a long time before betting out - it seemed like a large bet (from memory) it was like 8.75bb. I decided to jam - because I really didn't believe him. The only thing he could have was a queen - or a slow played set - that was now a boat, but I really thought this guy was full-of-it. It was one of the fastest insta folds I think I've ever seen online. LOL The smart play was to just call - but I thought possibly he would also think of me - this guy doesn't have a queen - and call me down with some medium pair like 99s or TTs. Anyway - Value bluffin with AAs - seems to be a thing. :) [/QUOTE]
