wtf? that would be super sweet. insta-call.

the reason we bet is that he'll call with a lot of hands he'd simply check behind with.
Hi phantom, thanks for response.

Of course I bet for the same reason you are describing...

I actually didn't come across very well on my post, like I said this is all new to me so I apologise. I was trying to give an alternative route against a good player by checking and allowing him to turn his hand into a bluff.

Against the right player, I think you certainly could maximise your return here.
sorry, I was a bit crude in my reply.
