This first hand is an interesting juxtaposition to the failed bluff that I posted yesterday. On the one hand, this player was more of a known quantity than was yesterday’s Villain. On the other hand, my range is way wider in this situation, and I think calling with something like 99 is far more justifiable:

This one is just neat because of the side pot dynamic. As you can see, the short stack’s range was stupid wide, so between the fact that even on the river I’m probably ahead of him and the fact that there is money in the sidepot, I think this is a neat bluff:
