Re: Blocking bets
A blocking bet is designed to earn a cheap showdown...a common situation is to make a 1/2 or 2/3 sized pot when when you have the nut flush on a paired board. If you are raised big then you are probabbly beat. You do not want to have to call a pot sized bet basically.
The only problem is that a good player will pick up on this and often raise you with nothing on the river.
My advice would be to experiement with it with hands like having two pair on the river when the flush or straight hits. It takes a lot of feel for it to work properly and is of course player dependant. Good luck.
