During a three handed cash game at the Lodge Card Club in Texas, Brad Owen gets into a battle of the blinds with his friend Daniel. Brad decides to unload the clip with a missed flush draw by overbetting the river. Will he be able to get this huge bluff past his friend or will Daniel sniff it out and take some of those very sought after Bradley dollars?
When deciding to use a large bet size on the flop or turn, it’s important to ensure you are polarized with the hands that you choose to do it with. This means you should have either a very strong made hand or a strong draw. By doing so, you remain balanced, and your opponents will not be able to exploit you based on your bet sizing.
