Hello guys

I'm right now playing by the SSS BASIC articles (so, i'm not applying the pot odds concepts presented on the BRONZE pages - YET)

Whatever, i just have a doubt about one thing on that strategy:

If i hit nothing on the flop and i'm facing only one opponent, i should bet as a bluff (and check/fold to his calls/raises). Well, the article also says that i must bet 2/3 of the pot and, if it's more than half od my stack, i should go directly all-in.

Should I really go all-in as a bluff? :baby: (since i'm a shortstacker, most of the time 2/3 of the pot is more than half of my stack)

Please, don't come to me with tips like "i would do that if the player is tight/loose blablabla" or that stuff. I'm just trying to use this strategy and i wanna know the right decision on that situation ACCORDING TO SHORTSTACK STRATEGY.

And please, don't blame me for my poor english I'm a foreigner speaker

Thanks ppl! And long life to PS.com lol I love this site :f_biggrin:

Yes, you should often go all-in as a bluff in heads up pot (if you only face 1 opponent).
The reason for that is that the opponent miss the flop about 2 times out of 3 and folds. If there are multiple opponents, the chance is that at least one of them hit the board strong enough to call you bet.
