20plo: Bluff spot with blockers. Look ok? - Small Stakes Pot Limit Omaha

Envoy222 · 07-18-2012, 06:09 PM

The main villain in this hand was unknown at the time, he'd been at the table <5 hands.
Flop is standard. Once I pick up nice eq I decide to stab at it & the unknown calls me. When he just calls I think he's on stuff like 2p+gs, fd, gs+pear & a rare KQ.
I opt to bet on the bigger side to make sure he folds his 2p, would you go bigger? I'd still chance the bluff even if I didn't have blockers btw, they're a lil % sweetener!

In my experience so far this is a decent spot for a bluff, your thoughts?

It's fine. In fact is nearly obligatory.

Only reason not to is that as he's new to the table he's more likely to call with his two pair etc. - but then maybe you don't mind getting caught as it might pay off later on.

I'd bet the turn bigger (around $2.3-2.6) & pot the river.
