Good Bluff in Omaha Poker Posted by kamassy , under: Omaha Hi Pot Limit, Omaha Poker Hands
There are good and bad bluffs and you need to sense a distinction. Here is an example of a good bluff in Omaha Hi Pot Limit Poker session. I had pocket pair of Queens and a potential flush in my hands. Not much, but it’s enough for limp in.
When the flop came up (K-6-5 rainbow) I decided to head for the pot with a pot raise and it worked flawlessly. It was a bluff that was allowed by other players at the table. Any bet would force me to muck my cards. Here is why:
- everyone checked which means no one flopped a set.
- I had some value in my cards (Pair of Queens and running flush draw)
- pot-raise from the button screams I have a set or open ended straight draw
- if anyone calls I am getting a free river since they would expect me to lead the hand
- if anyone did re-raise I would fold
These are the reasons why this was a good bluff that brought me 5 times big blind pot. Not much, but every free card could hit someone and I would lose this one.
