It depends if we are talking about cash game poker or tournaments. Tournaments are a game of controling risk not to get crippled, sometime you fold hands with postive EV because of the point your at in the tournament. Cash game you want to just make as much of positive EV as you can since you can just rebuy.
In my younger days, I played poker an average of 2 or 3 nights a week... for about 10 years. As the bluff is such a big part of poker, and as there is no genuine bluffing in the market... I see very little correlation between poker and trading. If you want to make analogy between trading and a gambling game, I'd say counting cards in black jack is closest.
You talking about a fake order on the DOM? To suck some scalper into a 2-tick play? That's not comparable at all to the bluff in poker. I've done more than most at both. Seems the correlation is quite thin, if any exists at all. Winning at poker, especially no-limit or table-stakes, has a high component of luck. In trading, the need for luck can be virtually negated by behavior.
Well, you go ahead a keep on thinking what you want! : ) Bluffs happen far bigger than what "you" think!!!!!!
Please explain one to me... one of consequence and comparable to bluffing a competitor off of a winning hand so that you win the pot. Please, just one.
