Re: Barry Greenstein on probe betting Live at the Bike

1. When you play no-limit, you have to read players and interpret their bets. Like everyone else, I make mistakes, but I often am able to deduce whether someone is making a defensive bet on the flop, turn, or river. I don't call with a small pair or fold with nothing -- I raise and put my opponents to the test.

Understood, but this is coming from the perspective of how to react to a defensive/probe/feeler bet, it doesn't really argue against using them in your own arsenal it only argues against using them against extremely talented players.
What I'm wondering is will you not frequently make these type of bets yourself against other players (specifically weak-tight ones) as they are most likely not going to raise you with nothing and will give up frequently if their hand missed a flop? We know they don't work well against you, but do they work well for you?
