- A lot of us get our theories about poker from playing endless hours online.
- A lot of those books are written by people who play endless hours also, and get their theories from similar experience.
I know you want to think you've discovered the best poker tactic since the check-raise, but like a bad hand in an active pot, it's time to let this one go. Even if you think it's helping you out, no one here is going to adopt it except under the most unusual circumstances. I don't think it really gets you any information that you wouldn't get faster and more reliably by betting the flop. And for every time you trigger a bluff (or bet from a lower pair) on the turn, you're also going to give someone the card they need to make two pair, a set, a straight, etc. And then your raise is going to go very, very badly.
in a heads up situation i could see this being used.....i checked top pair to the river in a heads up MTT situation, by the river it became quad j's so it isn't the same situation, i was first to play, he could have checked and lost his blind...instead he bet pot, I ame over him 7x all in, and the retard called me with (what must have been) a low boat against quad j's......
