i can't even make a semi bluff in a freeroll

wavesu6410 · 06-27-09, 09:34 AM

maybe he sneezed and hit the call button by accident?

KingRevolver · 06-27-09, 09:37 AM

I think you answered your own question. You can't semi-bluff in a freeroll. People feel they're not really putting anything up so they do stupid shit they wouldn't do in a game where they have to put up stakes.

Bread · 06-27-09, 09:54 AM

Maybe he had you figured out. You do kinda rub your nose everytime you bluff. I've noticed that about you.

KingRevolver · 06-27-09, 10:07 AM

Hahahaha calm down, Bread.

Personally I think the idiots are the ones who complain about losing to bad hands in a freeroll. If you want real poker then play for real money.

andrew5 · 06-27-09, 03:05 PM

give me some money

jjgold · 06-27-09, 03:09 PM

Poker is a crap shoot because so many people play and have little knowledge of the game which makes them dangerous and makes the good player vulnerable. Why do you think Pros are no where to be found anymore in most World Series Events or other Poker tourneys.

Rowdy Rolex · 06-27-09, 03:09 PM

I wouldn't bet wtih a9 there at all, let alone push...

try to get to showdown without getting any more chips in is optimal unless the 10 hits on a rainbow board...

it's a free-roll... value is the only bet you wanna make

Definitely not true. I've made plenty of money over the years, much easier to win than sports betting in my opinion. You're gonna lose to bad players and bad cards but if you play well you will win over time.

bettilimbroke999 · 06-27-09, 04:07 PM

Live poker is 10x better than online, you can't get reads or opinions on the player like you can in live, you can't talk to them to get a feel for what they got, in live poker ppl dont just play their premium hands at 10 tables at once while you sit there waiting 60 secs every time for each of them to act on their other 9 tables so they can finally fold their hand at yours, then if you happen to win a 100 bucks after 5 hours work and good cards you get to wait a month for your payout, online poker sucks

captmatt · 07-02-09, 08:44 AM

They have nothing to lose and more to gain if they call and win.

why would you call with k q on the board

idiots

The kind of tourney's i hate are the rebuy, add-on's. all in rebuy all in rebuy all in rebuy all in rebuy. Idiots!! The bad part is i will have a good hand and call. Then they will beat me with 2 7 offsuit, lol.

oiler · 07-02-09, 11:07 AM

ive noticed that it is hard to bluff early in the freerolls cause they will call with anything,so if u have patience ,u should be able to bluff in the later rounds

BestPlay2day · 07-02-09, 11:15 AM

I know on Bodog's freerolls, you can rebuy during the 1st hour so people will call anything and just rebuy if they lose. Also, nothing to lose so more go all in. After the 1st hour, the poker play is better because now players have invested an hour of their time plus they can't rebuy. I never bluff on a freeroll with over 3,000 players the 1st hour for these reasons.

Perhaps he had seen you try and buy a pot earlier with such rags and was tired of your buffaloing bullshit.

TheIntegrityKid · 07-02-09, 02:28 PM

look at OOL talking about something other than Obama..

good for you!

sportscapper · 07-02-09, 04:46 PM

i noticede it too in freerolls much donks play bad

johnnyutah69 · 07-02-09, 05:41 PM

it is impossible to bluff in a freeroll

greywind50 · 07-16-09, 01:38 PM

First hand of freeroll tournament i'm UTG with a pair of aces....now what? I go allin and get four callers... no one improves and I win. In the chat two of the opps thought I was bluffing. An allin in the first few rounds of a freeroll is like throwing a bucket of blood to a hungary shark and just watch the feeding frenzy start. So a bluff has no chance.

1e1 · 07-16-09, 02:37 PM

Duh its freeroll nobody ever give a shit what the outcomes is so
if you out luck the other then you'll survive if not wait for the
next freeroll and ohh yeah bluffing only works when there
no chip in the pot !!!!!!

ImAJ · 07-23-09, 03:32 AM

lol what do you expect most freerolls are full of people that are straight up donkey and people that just don't take them seriously

CRAZYBEAR007 · 07-23-09, 04:56 PM

Where there is Smoke at a FR There is usually a Cigerette

Here is the real question, what did you do the other 30 or 40 hands at the table. Freerolls are more difficult but not impossible to play and bluff; but if that is your MO then I'd call you in a NY minute!

Highstakes Cash Game Videos-Not for the Faint of Heart

For all you bad beat, it is hard to win a freeroll and I hate donks - Poker Players, I have compiled my top 10 High Stakes Cash game videos on You-Tube. Once you get the player going there are thumb nails along the side to pick what shows and videos you want to watch.

Watching the likes of Daniel N, Doyle Brunson, Barry Greenstein, Phil Laak, Patrick Antonius, Joe Hackem and others going at it like the $100k (we're talking cash not tournament chips!) in these pots is just part of an SBR freeroll. It is really eye-opening. What I am constantly reminded of is that there are a few bad players, some bad hands, but lots of bad plays.

PS I don't know who those Godaddy videos with all the T&A got in there but enjoy those too!!

Enjoy

An all in bet to a 9JQK board screams bluff.

If you had a Ten, you'd bet less trying to get a call. If you had a decent pair, you'd be checking, hoping to get to a showdown cheap, in case he has the Ten.

Numenor80 · 07-28-09, 10:59 PM

lol, this is what makes freerolls so beeeautiful!

TheProdigy · 07-30-09, 07:09 PM

Why would you semi bluff allin with presumably 9 outs. That's 18% to win, only hands he could call with a 9 and normally you'd have him beat k-9, j-9, 10-9, all have you beat so your 9 is dead. If you have to be allin by that turn, and can not make a value bet bluff or 2/3 steal than you should have been allin preflop with a-9. Unless you were in that 11bb to 15 bb range.
