I can rarely resist trying to steal the blinds when there’s extra dead money in the pot from a player who posts out of position.
However when there are two posters and you’re playing limit hold’em, I’m not sure exactly how profitable it can be to make a one-bet bluff into that kind of field.
All of the other players should be able to call one extra bet with pretty much any old crud when facing at least 5.5-1 pot odds. After all, if they don’t like gambling, you’d think they’d wait for their big blind.
I still couldn’t resist having a stab when this situation came up though, and it only bloody worked.
It’s not the most spectacular hand history in the world ever, but I liked it.
