Re: More Derb Hands

Add to that: He often seems to have some outs (gutshot etc) when making a move on the turn with a questionable hand. Somewhat analogous to a NL SuperSystem bluffing style. Hence all the bad beats he dishes out.

Recently Ive encountered more players at higher limits doing just this. DERB is not alone in this tactic. Additionally, Greenstien makes mention of employing a similar strategy in his book.

DERB does this different than your average high limit good player.
Check raising gutshots is a decent way of adding a good mix to your shania/range of hands. It's somewhat random and has equity. As is doing it when you have a backdoor flush.
When good players do it they are doing it to mix it up, because there's a good flow, because they could have 7 to 10 outs and there is huge folding equity (hu blind fight), DERB does it when there's a bet, A CALL, then him. Folding equity maybe, higher level thinking maybe. But seems doubtful.
