I’m saying it’s significantly less effective. There are too many people spread evenly from the top to the bottom thousand on Replay who will call two and three outers all the livelong day. Some of those exist in real money, but their numbers diminish as the stakes rise.
You’re right, but pick does have a point. With call stations, take care with aggression. Aggression with sizing works better but aggression with wise range/bluffs, not so much.
Yes we can still bluff and scare but we have to be more careful with the spots when Villain doesn’t like folding.
That’s not what he said, though. Of course some players are stations and we shouldn’t bluff them.
“We’re on Replay. Pressure does not exist here”
Just flat out wrong
Flat out wrong, he says.
Calls a pot raise after watching me struggle through the first four levels, card starved, then come all the way back to reach the bubble. Along the way, he never saw me bluff a preflop raise and was made short stack when he called my pocket kings. Yet, he called preflop, knowing after 90 minutes with me that he was second-best, then tried to bluff with his gutshot draw. That’s a player ranked 233rd who just doesn’t care and your check-raise strategy combined.
PS, tens on the next hand too, shoved, and big blind had aces. That I can live with at least.
I didn’t take that literally. Literally, yes totally wrong, but figuratively speaking (exaggeration, hyperbole), it’s true.
There are TONS of spots to profitably (and quite easily) apply pressure on Replay. Granted, one does often have to size up far more than what “should be” necessary to get people off their equity.
He had KJ. Sure, it’s a bit of a loose float pre, but he’s short, in position, and as it turns out, flipping. After you check the flop, I think it’s a mandatory bluff. They’re correctly putting pressure on you, and a lot of people are folding their AK to the all-in. You happen to have top set this time, but this is actually a perfect example of how you can put pressure on people and get them to fold strong hands - it’s just that it’s your opponent doing it.

I know and what he was doing and knew it then. The point is, based on his experience with me, it was a mistake rewarded rather than punished.
Everything he had seen about my play over an hour and a half at that table, from my missing three 15-outers in a row from the flop to become shortstacked, to then dig in and gradually fight back into contention with patience that transformed into aggression as my stack grew, to three-betting him a handful of times when he tried to bluff me, and finally shortstack him when he got frisky after I’d pre-flop raised pocket kings, all of that told him I was the wrong person to (call it exerting pressure if you wish, but in reality) bluff in that position. If he was a better player, he would have known I had a solid read on him and suspected that I was laying a trap with the check. The right play was for him to check back, then check raise me when I bet after his queen for the straight hit the turn, because if his three-outer doesn’t come, he’s gone after bluffing.
The issue has been resolve(d)
