Re: Thoughts?
Im more interested in the statement than analysis of the example.
It has other implications. Let's say you are out of position and have a weak made hand against a player you suspect has a draw or a bluff and will push it hard. Instead of, say, leading out all in which will give him a terrible price on his draw (which he may call or may fold), and causing him to fold his bluffs, you might decide to check and let him stick all his chips in before you call (assume you both have 1 pot sized left). Checking increases the range of hands you are against, and if you determined you are committed then according to my statement it would be the optimal line.
