Clearly I don't feel like I'm drawing to anything even though I pick up the draw on the turn. I had a hand that I played passively two hands ago against the button which ultimately cost me the pot and he was talking to me about it when this hand started. The raise preflop is clearly questionable. I like to keep a loose image at a table if I feel like atleast one person is payin attention so i will raise these hoping to take the blinds and show that I raise preflop with nothing (or take down the pot on the flop). Blind stealing was fairly easy at this table. Do any other NL players here tend to make these plays from time to time. (Very infrequently though).

Lol, woah. Nicely played. I usually don't bluff with a 10-3, but whatever works, I suppose.

Looks kinda like tilt.

Agreed. Nice move anyway I guess.

Yep, but hey, doesn't matter if you have ten-high or a straight flush if you don't get called - nice bluff. Call it a tribute to Doyle.If he calls the turn, what do you do with on the river? I think having gone this far, I'd fire again on a non-club, and probably bail on a club (given that I'm up against a guy who's been calling along after ragging on me for being too passive, I'd suspect a flush draw.)

I'll do something like this once in awhile when playing NL, but not very often (I've been folding most hands and have only had to show strong ones, and my opponents don't appear likely to call down marginal hands or to chase draws without the odds).
