So I picked up a new concept in poker tonight that I had yet to ever stumble upon before. It comes in handy in situations where you are facing a river bet from an opponent with a bluff catcher. In very close decisions in unlikely spots often the difference maker in the hand can be having blockers for your opponents likely hands that would have been turned into bluffs. For example in omaha if you had a warp+over pair on a paired board and the river brought three of a kind and your opponent just called a turn bet and made a big river bet, it is harder for him to have a wrap turned bluff (since you have most of those cards) and would weigh his hand more towards the quads or aces. Just something to chew on...
