It would seem the general play is to BI for a full bet, thus announcing you have something.

I'm still undecided about the whole "showing strength & invoking fears and folds" compared to deception, though deception is costly when you can't shake the leeches laster on.

Hmm.

also note that these games are riddled with bad players that are just as likely to call a completion as they would a normal bring-in. you should keep that in mind.
