As I told yesterdag bluffing is a lot more important in HU then in any other game. I even think that in FR it's possible to get away as a winning player without much bluffing at all (so called set-mining).
One example of a bluff in a HU game against a decent player is the following hand:
My hand is not important at all here, it's the board that counts here.
This flop is so dry that it's very difficult to hit something here.
The only hands that he could have hit hard here are 22/33 and that's about it. Sometimes maybe a very tricky AA. It's also very likely that 22/33 will slowplay the flop on this board, so then a CR here looks even more fishy, cause there are now draws.
So I think his most likely hand is something like(44-77/A3/A2/A4/54/air) or a Jx hand. But I doubt he will CR here with Jx.
So I decide to make a healthy re-raise and represent AJ or better. This way it's very hard for him to continue with any hand besides 22/33 offcourse and he folds.

If you think he's weak, you'd never RR w/ AJ+. Therefore you're not really repping it. U must be pretty sure he thinks on the right level?
Good blog btw, keep up the good work!
You're right in that, but on this level there not much players who will think on this level and have the balls to push/call 77 for value here. So they might think I make a move but are nog strong enough themself to re-raise me here.
On the other hand, it's not true that I never play QQ like this even though I think a big part of his range is weak here.
Do you have any plan in case he only calls and checks the turn?
There's still enough money behind, like 1 potsized bet as far as I can see. Are there any cards you'll continue bluffing? Cause you will put it in prolly w/ AJ+ here on a blank turn/river...
Zeeboo theorem, what hand would you every 3-bet the flop with? Call and float the turn is a much better line.
Now contact me at msn trough hyves pls, I didnt make a krabbel for nothing ;)
geen zeebo, maar aejones ;)
