Yeah, maybe I should do that occasionally [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
But seriously, your opponent must be someone you think is capable of making a move on you because he thinks you're making a move. What if you value bet 1/2 the pot, and then he raises? You've pegged him as a player capable of making amove on you, but you have no idea if he's raising with the goods or making a move. And it's expensive as hell to find out.
If you put him on nothing, make a suspicious "raise-me" bet, his raise will be easier to call, and more likely to be a move (since it's going to be hard for him to make a move on you when you bet 1/2 the pot or the full pot on the river).
BTW...this is me trying to convince myself it's something I should try out once or twice. But I'm half expecting that the ensuing discussion will talk me out of it.
