Haven't Posted Lately

My poker career is winding down and I got too distracted/tired/depressed/lazy to update both blogs these months.

I was thinking about poker and I actually decided I spent my poker time unwisely. I think after the basics are down, that one's time is best spent going over the play of actual hands or studying sample hands. I should have kept up with this more diligently.

I was thinking about it again last night at the FW 10/20. And old man check/called the clop, check called the turn, and bet the river. board 4 Q 8 Q 6. I called and he showed Q8. I wondered "Has anyone ever been caught bluffing in that line?" Every crusty old man that I have called in that spot has had at least trip Queens.

While I was contemplating that. An couple hours later I bluffed in that spot. Ihad KQhh and called from the bb. flop was rags with one h. like 2d 4h 8s, 8c, 6h. I check/caled the flop and then turn and then donked the river (into a TAG younger player who had open raised a couple limpers from the button). He showed a pure steal, 10h3h and folded. I showed him just the Kh.

So I guess some people do bluff with that line.
