RISEorFall 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I saw something I'd like to call the "mid-Farrell" yesterday. First guy checks, second guy folds, I bet. It's good to see the open Farrell is evolving.i hope one day to see the close-farrelli almost saw it in a local bar tourney the other night. 4 or 5 guys in a pot, checked around to the button who folded. he thought someone had bet and the dealer let him take his cards back (they dont really go by strict casino rules). i was heartbroken.interesting enough, he ended up winning the hand.

Zach6668 513 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I played in an SNG, I was chasing a flush draw, with like 9 high or something, and I was OOP... I missed, checked the river, and the guy who was betting, folded.Is that a close-ferrell? Link to post Share on other sites

I missed, checked the river, and the guy who was betting, folded.Is that a close-ferrell?I used to do that a long time ago when I was bluffing because I didn't want my opponent to see my crappy cards.

DrZoidberg 0 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 So this is the infamous Open-farrell, I'll sometimes do this because it's funny, like if I totally whiff, take a stab at the flop and get called heads up, I'll just open-farrell to throw some deception in my game, lawl.

tentenoffsuit 0 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'll definitely close farell online in LP when bluffing on a 4 or 5 high draw and my opponent has checked to me on the river and i missed. Why let them go to instant hand history and see what you had? You can always play it off like it was an accident and you weren't paying attention. Usually typing something like "I thought that was an error message... $*&! I had two pair!" works... Link to post Share on other sites
TravisG 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i tried the open farell today and i have to say it worked out quite well.my hand was As Ad.flop cameAc Ah 5hin order to win the pot i folded in first position. Link to post Share on other sites
Merby 3 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 This was a hand I played in a NL 3-table SNG. My thinking is that I'd have been better off folding instead of checking. Almost always you should check even if you plan on folding to a min. bet but here I think it's better to fold. Lemme know what you think.<silly hand history>A novel idea. This is definitely 7th level thinking here. Link to post Share on other sites
