Default Re: When the better tries to force the caller\'s decision.

Nothing is certain, but assuming we are talking about weak players (since a strong player wouldn't impatiently try to get his opponent to act)... it is more likely if he is actually impatient that he is on a bluff or has a weak hand.

It would seem to me strong players are more likely to care about getting that last bet (because they think in long-run terms), than a "gambler" who's often just happy that he won a pot.

[ QUOTE ]
On the same line of thinking, when they don't have a hand and are trying to buy the pot... they want it over with quickly because it's ugly, they actually aren't yet sure they are going to win (and want to know immediately)

[/ QUOTE ]

When most people bluff they tend to clam up and hope they win the pot. They want the opponent to act quickly, but not so badly that they risk doing something that gives away their bluff.
