i dont understand why you all insist on it looking like a bluff. i probably play A8 and less the same 50% of the time. flop check looking for a c/r or c/f. then the turn improves me by so much i check again hoping for a bluff - at which point there are enough chips in the pot for me to push and perhaps get called by second best hands.

i really like this move the more i think about it.
