Examples of bluffing to be discussed.

After demonstrating some bluffing moves, I would like my colleagues to discuss the moves. It will be a good review.

Exemple #1

🃏 Example 1 — Classic bluff with scare card

📍 Situation
You are on the button with Q♠ J♠
Everyone folds to you → you raise
Big blind calls

📊 Flop: 7♦ 4♣ 2♠ (dry board)
The villain checks
You make a c-bet

➡️ Why?

This flop connects with almost nothing, so you represent overpairs or strong Ax.

In this example there is a bluffing element to the C-bet, as we might get KX and perhaps even AX to fold. But we might also get a few worse hands to call like 65 or 53. And we deny equity, when worse hands like J high or T high fold. Plus we keep control of the hand, unless we get raised, which allow us to take a free card on the turn and see all 5 cards before making a decision on the river.

We can also pick up equity on a spade, and if we turn a Q or J, we will usually have the best hand, which we can then bet for value. Or we can use certain cards like an A or K to barrel again and get some weak pairs to fold. So betting this flop, which I agree is the right decision, serve a variety of purposes other than just purely bluffing.

Nice try, but Button vs. BB is a wide vs. wide setup, both players have all weak combos in their hand 53, 77, 44, 22, 56, even 74 and 72 may be in the calling range off BB, also any A2, A4, A7
It is a natural bluff but should be played carefully.

And here a nice Flopzilla calculation with your medium broadway suited connector against all the shit in BB`s range.
88 combos that are way ahead you nead a J or a Q or somthing that will improve your hand extremely.

Boa tentativa, mas Button vs. BB é uma situação de mãos muito abertas, ambos os jogadores têm combinações fracas na mão: 53, 77, 44, 22, 56, até mesmo 74 e 72 podem estar ao alcance de call do BB, além de qualquer A2, A4, A7.
É um blefe natural, mas deve ser jogado com cautela.

E aqui está um belo cálculo do Flopzilla com seu conector broadway suited médio contra todas as cartas ruins no range do BB.
88 combos que estão muito à frente, você precisa de um J ou um Q ou algo que melhore muito sua mão.

Your well-founded and thoughtful analysis is very valuable. The interesting thing is that the intervals at the ends of the table are indeed wider, but depending on the table, this is generally confirmed most of the time.
