Default Re: Pros and Cons of Betting/Raising to \"Gain Information\"

Okay, I think most of you are on to my game here. I think betting for information is lame and raising for information is chip spewing. Of course, if I state this up front, I get no replies other than nh.

One of the common errors seems to be re-rasing pre-flop with JJ for the sole purpose of seeing if villain will push (indicating AA or KK) instead of calling and playing for set value.

Every bet should be made in context with each situation. For instance, you flop a set. Don't min bet to acquire information. Make a normal bet, either someone has a hand or they don't.

Meleader's thought on deep stack play (200+ bb) is interesting. I am not a deep stack expert so maybe BobboFitos or someone else who plays in deep stack games can make a more educated comment on that.
