(a) you bet and he folds, (b) you bet and he calls and (c) you bet, he raises and you fold. All three of these add to your expected value and make you more willing to bet.

Hi Aaron. Have you been on vacation or something? It seems like ages since you've posted.

(b) only adds to your expected value when you have the best hand. I don't see how (c) ever adds to your expected value. Under (c), if you have a worse hand you have lost one more bet than you would have by checking and if you have a better hand then you just forfeited the whole pot plus one bet.

So I don't understand your statement that (a), (b), and (c) can add to your expected value.
