I find this mostly in tournies, because it has a more drastic effect on chip stacks. I have found it used in cash games and once I see that, I go to another table. The problem lie in the touney games where I read this bet as being weak... I bet, and lose even more. Before I can put this move on a particular hand I'm short stacked and unable to put it to the test again.

The funny part is, about 70% of the time I'm correct. I can steal a huge pot because someone got their hand caught in the cookie jar. It's just this 30%, not a frequent occasion at all, that usually gets me good because of my 70% being right.

This site has a "max" button (read: all in button) and no slider so I know that this isn't the case. It's a sneaky move that I am still trying to understand. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
