5-bet all-in with Q-high on the flop? Easy!
If you're Phil Ivey, of course. Many players consider this bluff the greatest in poker history, and you can see why. Even back when the games were much softer, most pros could make a standard 3-bet on a semi-dry flop heads up. But this is a 5-bet bluff all-in with no pair, no draw against a guy who is pot committed! Even nowadays when hyper aggressive play is common practice, nobody else could pull off a move like that.
Easy? Yes, easy. But not always successful...
Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom - the rising online poker star at the time - trying to perform something similar to Ivey's bluff, proved that such tricks probably come off just once in a lifetime. Popular opinion is that Blom's play here was one of the worst bluffs ever made.
