Classy Plays - CheckRaise Bluff

[GotaFancy?]

Are you particularly proud of the way you played a hand? Is it a text book example to others of how to make a check-raise bluff? Then post the hand history and thoughts and let us see

We dont care about results - whether you win or lose the hand is of no significance, whether you make money/chips or lose, makes no difference to the strength of your play - we dont want your bad beats here

Note: By posting your hand here you are inviting feedback, annalysis and comment from others

Nice idea Gaf?.

We don't care about results - whether you win or lose the hand is of no significance

I also think that results based hand discussions is something we should be getting away from, but surely check/raise bluffs are only good ones if you pulled off the bluff (i.e. win the hand)?

I can't think of any instances where I've pulled this off, got my hand caught in the cookie jar and thought, "I did that well".

EDIT:Unless it sets you up for a play that pays off later on?

Agreed - can't think of many scenarios where your bluff is called and it was a good play - ultimately your judgement on what the other player would do is at fault - so maybe when you bluff it is a more results orientated scenario than other plays

i did a good check raise bluff in one of last months pl league games
unfortunately i haven't got the hand history but i did show it and luckily i can remember my side of the hand but i can't remember the opponent ,hopefully they may remember it.

i am on the bb with 83 blinds were on 25/50 i think

2 limpers and the sb call

flop comes
7 10 j rainbow

sb checked ,as did i ,the 1st limper then bets pot size ,limper2 folds, so does the sb.

at this point i decided the opponent probably has one of aj ,a10,kj or k 10
so i decide to raise but only to 500 chips .i thought that the just over min raise would look stronger than the big check raise ,look like i had 89 and wanted a caller.
the opponent took a lot of time then said "you have me beat"then folded,so i thought i'd show it and said "maybe not"

i was very pleased with this hand and i'd love to know if my read was correct on the other player,hopefully they will remember it
