Re: merits and faults of the blocking bet
[ QUOTE ]
What you are saying is not a blocking bet, it's a value bet.

That's what a blocking bet is to me. If I'm pretty sure that I'm going to lose a showdown, check/folding is way better than throwing away 1/2-pot. I use block bets when there's a fair chance that my hand is good, but it's not super-strong.
If you guys are talking about the dumb 1/5-pot block bets; well, I never do that. My block bets look like value bets because they are. I rarely go lower than 1/2-pot.
