    @thelorax, Referring to the quoted part, what I meant in this thread is that if you look at your range going into the turn, of all of the hands you cannot bet for value, AsKs is one of the best to bluff with. Then if you have a bluffing range at all, AsKs has to be one of the first hands you put in it.

    "If adding semi-bluffs to your range that are break even in a vacuum is +EV for your range as a whole, then obviously making semi-bluffs that are +EV in a vacuum will be greatly +EV for your range as a whole."
    If you knew for some reason that shoving AsKs on the turn was break even in a vacuum, then it would be +EV overall since it should mean that you get called more often. Even if he doesn't call more to adjust, you're freerolling since there's a non-zero chance he calls more and you're risking 0 EV to do it.

    You did the semi-bluffing calculation right. There's a proof in that thread that shows why that works, but it's kind of tricky.
