Tiny bet, huge bluff!

1/20/10
When you're up against more experienced players it takes much more to achieve what you want, but sometimes you can use their knowledge to your advantage.


I showed much strength preflop since I re-raised my big blind. When the flop came with two aces and a seven, I wondered how I could show as much strength as possible. Making a standard bet of approximately 750 would be very suspiciously, a certain bluff in his eyes. A check-raise might be a good option, but I chose to make a minimum bet of 120. It can't mean anything but pure strength to an experienced player. And furthermore, it's cheaper if he plays back. Risking 120 in a pot of 1100 doesn't need a high success-frequency to be profitable.

Busted!
