The point is not the exact number of outs OP gains by folding out the button; no matter what the button holds the OP gains enough equity in the pot to make this bet +EV if button folds a reasonable amount of time.

What? How are these NOT directly coorelated. And you gain in the best scenarios 2 outs by doing this. Unless button catches his six outer on the turn that beats you when you would have caught a river to win--that's pretty unlikely as well.

Unless you're darn sure button will bet if you check and you think you're stuck and/or you're doing this completely for image purposes is the only quasi-reasonable explanation for this play I can come up with.
