The art of the poker bluff

Posted under Poker & poker bluff & poker tournament & professional poker

According to the 2006 World Series of Poker champ, Jamie Gold, he would be pleased to be celebrated as the all time best bluffer in the poker world. But if his last tournament is any clue, his wish may not be granted any time soon.

The location is the 2007 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic held at the Sin City Bellagio in 2007. Featuring $50 - $100 blinds and a $15,000 buy-in, Darrell Dicken is close to the end of his run. The seat 4 player has just raised his bet to $300, a tiny increase with only one player taking the bait. “I put him as being weak,” Jamie said, “I was thinking about raising, but instead I just called with a 10-3 of hearts to see what would happen.”

Jamie believed that Brad Booth would make a move, which he did. He re-raised to $1600 from the big blind. Gold had the idea that Booth had a reasonable hand, but he was in an excellent position to make a move taking into account the amount of dead money in the pot. Dicken ended up folding, and the unknown in Seat 4 called Booth’s raise.

Now there was more than $4000 in the pot, so Jamie went ahead and made it another $4000. His thought was, only if someone else had aces or kings there would be no possibility they would make that call. Jamie’s plan was to make a considerable move on the flop, as long as no ace came up. The second part of his plan was to get Booth to fold, which he did. Booth folded with pocket queens.

Out of the flop there was an ace of ace-6-5, two clubs. The player in seat 4 checked and Jamie bet $2000. Jamie’s first thought was to make him think that he had clubs. Seat 4 threw out a $10,000 chip, but didn’t say anything thus converting his raise into a call. Jamie’s thought was that seat 4 most likely had an ace, but you have to protect it in case he hits his set on the upcoming card.

A 2 of hearts came out on the turn, and Jamie went ahead and folded to what he thought was a top pair kicker. Seat 4 showed a king-jack off suit. Seat 4 overpowered Gold by bluffing with a better hand, he created a magnificent poker play and kept the bluff going to the end of the Texas Holdem’ tournament.
