I had this situation twice tonight:
I raised before the flop but then didn't hit anything but was first in against 1 opponent so raised 2/3 pot as bluff which was called.
The turn card comes up empty for me too so what should I do - bet again to continue the bluff or give up the hand?
I believe probably give up the hand but I tried both tonight and thought I'd get some clarification as to which is correct.
