Default Re: A Subject that hasnt been discussed.

looks like the best part about this bet is the leverage you gain...vs most opponents, if you lead flop like that, the other guy will make decision for his stack. which seems like a good reward/ratio situation.

Best part of this lead is that it lets you trap your opponent, allowing them to put in the final bet instead of your opponents giving up after c-betting.

ie) In same hand, assume hall had AA/ bld missed his flop. since any action like c-c pretty much gives away hall is likey committed, it is unlikely bld will continue firing. by making a lead like this, it gives bld to put in the final bet as he did.

of course, once you show that you are willing to lead-call a raise, you can start throwing in some bluffs and other guy will have harder time taking the standard -3bet/cbet routine.
