Re: Oh So Standard?

here are the reasons to make a bet:
1. to get a call from a worse hand
2. to make a better hand fold
it makes sense to bet for the first reason, for the second reason, and for some combination of the two reasons, but not "for information" (especially in a hand like this, where the villain can easily call with a hand that has us beat) or "because hero raised preflop." these just aren't legitimate, reasons to make a bet if you are looking at things in terms of expected value.

imo, "a combination of the two reasons" gains information. if you are betting due to a combination of the two reasons you surely have no idea where ur hand lies...therefore betting gains information. I really cant believe you're saying that there is never a reason to bet in order to gain information. Pretty ridiculous and very ABC-esque. well done.
