I wondered if most peeps agree with this change of thought.

Whereas it would seem that you can double your stack and win big when you have the nuts and your opponent has the second best hand, this doesn't
happen all the time in poker, as we all know.

It's the semi bluff that seems to allow us to get a lot of cash in low to fairly moderate amounts, but of course in more frequency.

I play mostly at 5c/1c tables where the semi bluff seems to work quite well, I wondered if it works at the higher stakes as well. Or do better players means that these semi bluffs get called down often?

I know that from when I started on the 1c/2c you have to use it really wisely as you get called all time on those stakes? (But thats due to the players not being that good)

Thoughts?

The semi bluff is a powerful tool but abuse it, and you'll get caught eventually.
