Should you ever turn your hand into a bluff?


 

 


 

A6 off suit mid pair top kicker


 

Pre Flop hero opens from the cut off. Post flop he checks down with mid pair top kicker.

What it is his best plan on the river?


 

  1. Since he holds the nut blocker, he should bet pot to make vilains fold better hands;
  2. He should make a blocking bet for half pot for thin value and to avoid facing a larger bet;
  3. He should keep on checking and fold to a bet;
  4. He should check to induce a bluff and call;
  5. He should check raise all in as a bluff.

“Don’t turn your hand into a bluff!” is a motto we have all read at least once on a poker forum.
