5. Conclusion

It turns out that loose aggressive blind steals are profitable when the opponents are tight and weak, and you are able to quickly recognize the spots in which you have to give up a hand, or in which a further move is possible, respectively. In particular you should keep in mind that your own image changes with a more active playing style and thus also changes the attitude of the opponents. You should not lose sight of the fact that the goal of this style is to get the small pots which are relatively easy to win.

Very good article!!
One thing is forgotten... What to do after when you got
to a showdown after a player called your
cbet
or your flop:check turn:raise
or your call flop bluff bet turn

i will have a very bad image on the table when
i will show a j8o on a AK394 ... After i called bluf the turn...

What your opinion? You shold add a section for it!

@3: Thank you for your comment. Your hint is very interesting, but there are so many special spots you could think about. Unfortunately, articles cannot deal with any situation possible.

I would need more informations about the hand you mentioned, with what are you calling the bluff, with j high? Didn't really get your idea in this situation.

Kind regards
Huckebein
