Message: [QUOTE="Pafkata, post: 1405928, member: 55565"] Very very very wrong... Elky will never put his whole stack on a bluff if he's playing against a player who can eliminate him... I doubt if he ever went all-in on a bluff on the river.. You don't understand the basics of the hyper-aggressive play. Hyper aggressive players are involved in many pots and raise big when the pot is small - these actions leave the impression that they are always bluffing. The wildest thing hyper-aggros do is go all-in on the TURN with air if they think their opponent can fold... River bluffs usually do not work because the pots is big enough and the caller usually has the odds to make the call. Toth played the hand correctly pre-flop and the check on the flop is OK, because he wants to let Elky bluff at it. The most profitable play in this hand is big flop check-raise to take it down. Hyper-aggros want you to fold or call their bets, they never want a re-raise. You can experiment at a lower level than what you play to re-raise LAGs - you will be amazed how often they fold opposed to shoving all-in on a bluff as everyone expects. LAGs don't think you hit a top pair if you just call and they can shove the turn with air and many weak-TAGs will fold afraid from sets or two pairs. You have to let the hyper-aggro know that you hit a hand and you are not going to fold.. Raising the flop will also protect your hand from pocket underpairs hitting their set luckily on the turn !!! or hitting the str8 like this case.. I am not sure why I am writing this, because I just remembered Daniel Negreanu's "Don't educate the sucker" :cool: [/QUOTE]
