I don't agree. You aren't nessesarily beat. How many times have you been called by junk? how many times are you raised with junk? in your example, villian could easily have J9 for an open ended draw. He may raise you, or he may just call. Does it mean you are beat?

Obviously not. It does help narrow down his range, but I still stand by my original post that the bet is PRIMARILY for protection.
pirate ur an idiot. of course you can be raised by junk on any hand. yes even feeler bets can get raised by junk. surprise surprise..this doesn't mean its not in fact still a feeler bet. LOL you are funny man. i cracked up when i read this. so can u define a situation where you feeler bet cannot get raised with junk?? LOL
