Note, this hand is from Eric Sprague's PartyPoker play.
I am Player1 in this demo.
QT is not the strongest hand in no limit. That said, getting top pair on the flop with a Q makes
the hand interesting.
Flopping top pair is a nice feeling but my kicker is a ten.
This could be a second place hand because someone could easily be holding
AQ, KQ, QJ (yes, some players limp with these hands).
I bet $1 on the flop and get raised $2.
At this point maybe the raiser thought my bet was just for information.
However, it could be that he has me out kicked.
Rather than waiting to the river, I want to see where I stand so I reraise.
He mucks his hand.
This example shows that reraising can be used to gather information
and one of the side benefits is that it could cause your opponent(s)
to fold without a showdown.
