Correct show strategy, is a very involved process. VERY involved. Needless to say, the rock players rather ignorant belief that you NEVER show, is FAR from accurate (no, I'm NOT referring to you, Monk. ha ha, tee hee hee)
In a limit game, ATE says to never show a good hand that you folded. But, in no limit (REAL no limit, folks) you may be able to convince an opponent that you are WEAK-tight, and will fold overpairs to a big raise, with a flop like 7 2 3, fearing a set.
Then, use a mimic raise, when you have things like 77, 88 and 99. Now, if you flop a set, he'll put you on a big overpair, and may make HUGE bets, thinking he can run you off your "overpair".
But, this is a VERY advanced concept that requires experience to successfully pull off.
(Got that, KELLER!)
Showing bluffs and semi-bluffs, is a great thing to do, provided that you properly adjust your future play, and don't just do it once in a blue moon.
You must back up the image you are trying to represent, with other actions.
If there is ever a book, said actions will be further explained.
But, since the cost of establishing a website is too much, there will NEVER be anything like that, I'm afraid.
Besides, no one wants to buy it anyway.Statistics: Posted by AdamtheExpert — Mon Jan 03, 2005 10:05 pm
