looking for Mike Caro to explain something...

[Robert Urner]

Hey Mike or anyone out there.
Anyone want to explain to me why there isn't a section in Mikes book of Poker tells that doesn't explain fast bets?
From my experience, fast bests are the surest way of a bluff, but only with bad flops.
QQ2 and someone bets quickly doesn't ever have a Q

Am I right or not?

Umm, the whole section entitled "Strong means weak." Although this is not always true. Sometimes strong means strong trying to look weak. And sometimes people are fourtabling. Oh, and I'm not sure that Mike Caro posts on these forums...

[BluffTHIS!]

Pages 159-160 of the 1984 edition, chapter Betting Moves:

"Betting with extra emphasis is an attempt to appear strong."

"Caro's Law of Tells #19:A forceful or exaggerated bet usually means weakness."

"This section is intended as a guide for deciphering the hands of players who vary their betting moves."
