The 4-bet bluff raise
Used sparingly against aggressive opponents who seem to indiscriminately 3-bet you preflop, the 4-bet bluff can be a good equalizer -- and profitable.

yeah but you flopped the nuts - do you make same bet if flop is 752r?

Makes it a lot easier when you flop open ended...
You're essentially committing yourself on that flop by betting pot. Most mid/face card flops hit you pretty well with JQ, but are you betting pot if baby cards hit? What about Axx? I'm guessing his range is suited connectors and Ax hands, with occasional KQ KJ etc... so I guess the real question is... when (if ever) do you back off the bluff? If the flop completely misses you and he donks, then what?

Though this a marginal hand at best, I like the move because it's also a drawing hand. I realize you were "bluffing" but even the best players bluff with some outs. Nice!
