Default Re: a short thought on raising for information/defining your hand...

[ QUOTE ]
anyone who thinks they are raising for a single primary purpose is usually wrong anyway(except for a few scenarios with the nuts or a monster hand when it is clearly for pure value).

Of course. And if information is a secondary purpose of your raise, then fine. But many times I've read statements like "Oh, I raised to figure out where I was at," or "I bet here to define my hand." These statements indicate that something is wrong...either your bet/raise accomplishes something more important or you shouldn't have bet/raised at all because you were WA/WB.
