Favorite Little Bluff

Quickly becoming one of my favorite bluffs is one I call the "little bluff."

Say the flop contains K-7-2. I'm first to bet, and I bet small, indicating to players I hold either a 7 or a 2.

Often someone with a King will raise to a large bet.

(The thousand dollar Ace (or king) is how I refer to it, since in the 100/200 pot limit (play money) tables I play on, the "standard" raise for a pair of aces on the flop is around $1000.)

At least one times out of four, a second 7 or 2 will appear.

I immediately throw out a bet worthy of trips.

Do it too often, they'll get on to you, but now and then it's lethal.
