To illiget: Probe bets are not continutaion bets.

A probe bet usually comes from someone out of position who was not the PFR.

I'm well aware. I said probe/continuattion bets in case Barry responds similarly to continuation bets (as most PF raisors miss the flop as well), but if not then my comments can just be applied to probe bets. Doesn't change any of the content of my post.

Once you raise the probe bet, they have to be very big to stay in the hand.

This is great, but it has to do with how you generally respond to probe bets (or bets that appear to be probe bets) not whether or not you should be making probe bets in the first place when YOU are the probe bettor. If someone makes a value bet that looks like a probe bet, then you don't know which is which. Is Barry G. saying he himself never makes probe bets, esp. against weak players? Doubt it. He likely does it very often.

This is why its also usually a good idea to lead out when you hit a set when you are out of position and were not the PFR, especially against a strong player, as the PFR is more likely to raise than fold to your bet.

Right, so like I said, please Barry raise my "probe bet" when i hit my set.
