Never thought I would do it...

I never thought that I would ever make a bluff for all my chips, but it happened during Thursday night league.
9 handed game I was 2 seats after BB
Under the gun was Ben (who thinks the big blind is a ante and posts it everyhand) calling station..
I limped as well for 600 KQ off ( a hand I usually through in the muck in that position.)
I believe 7 players to the flop of
6,8,2 check, check, check, I lead out with 2,000
Everyone fold around to Pete who calls.
head up
Turn a blank 10 I beleive
I fire again 3,000
Pete calls without thinking much
River blank as well 3
I push all in for about 14K
Pete tanks and runs the hand over and over in his head, puts me on 2 pair and finally mucks after taking what seemed to be forever and flips up an 8.
I had to show the bluff and it tilted him
(Sorry Pete)

Showing that bluff paid off a few hands later when a pot was raised to 2500 i smooth called with 99 and flopped a set vs QQ I checked raised, QQ pushed all in probably thinking I was at it again. Felted him. Bill Kramer

  1. Way to go. A good bluff can be empowering (a bad one can be crushing). It's even sweeter when you get to use your "bluff equity" in a hand.

    This prompted me to post a reverse scenario. My monster hand came before the bluff for the perfect set-up.
