Message: [QUOTE="F Paulsson, post: 703231, member: 6979"] Limit is all about equity and ranges; how likely is your hand to win a showdown, how much of his range is the other guy likely to fold. Bet, check, raise or fold accordingly. Pure bluffs are rare, but blind steals are a big lovefest of crap hands going at each other. It's fun. Here's a bluff from today: Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (4 handed) [URL="http://www.flopturnriver.com/reviews/Online-Poker-PartyPoker.php#converter"]Party-Poker[/URL] Converter Tool from [URL="http://www.flopturnriver.com"]FlopTurnRiver.com[/URL] (Format: FlopTurnRiver) [B]Preflop:[/B] Hero is Button with J[IMG]http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/heart.gif[/IMG], 8[IMG]http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/club.gif[/IMG].

[B]Final Pot:[/B] 1.25 BB Here's a hand where I raised for value and fold equity before the flop, and made my opponent - presumably - fold at least 6 outs after the flop. Might even have folded a better hand.

Limit hold'em is a bit more subtle in some of its nuances than it first seems (first impression: "bet-and-everyone-calls"). But it's fun. [/QUOTE]
