Default Re: good time for a combo bet v. a TAG? or do those bets not exist....

The reason the bet is good is becuase you're putting pressure on your opponent (keeping him from putting pressure on you) and making your range less polarized. It isn't to magically fold out better hands while getting value from worse hands.

That's my main problem, the way it's interepreted by some people because of its name.

It should be called a pressure bet.

yah i agree. An actual two-way bet comes up extremely rarely (i'd be surprised if i had >3 of them lifetime), and needs a pretty predictable/dumb opponent. I feel like some live pros might get a few of them/yr.
