I made a list of a lot of great poker bluffs I've seen and wanted to see what people on this forum thought was the best televised bluff they've ever seen. I've only included hands where the bluffer had the worst hand and wasn't rebluffing a bluff with the best hand.

The sad (good?) part of this post is that I realized I knew each example in detail simply by reading the text.

I need to watch something other than poker shows ...

+1

If we can get away a minute from the best bluff from a poker purity stand point and talk about it from a tv entertainment stand point then it has to be this one:

Yeah mike f%cked up big time by not 4 betting pf. He probably figures he's crushed by a set of q's, aa, or at best chopping with kk.

Yeah Durrrr got outplayed pretty badly that hand. His reaction after Marcello shows him the bluff after he tells Marcello at least I saved some money by not shoving the river is priceless.

That's a fairly interesting hand because with Phil's cash game rep I think most of the time you are crushed on the river. He bet 40 in to 49, kings are basically a bluff catcher so imo it's profitable to fold in this spot. With that said it's obvious Mike played that hand terrible from the start and should have never put himself in this situation..

Dwan explains thought process behind Goldstein/Eastgate bluff, makes it obvious how he knew that Eastgate had the best hand.

I think the Booth v Ivey bluff probably takes the cake for most memorable all things considered. Best is something where a tv pro makes a lol live poker fold to a small bet with the near nuts but most memorable is Booth.
