I don't know why Sklansky would do it. I do this just to say: <font color="blue">"Hey, even with a 9, I have four-to-a-wheel and unless you have a better draw, do you REALLY want to invest more in this hand?" </font> About half the time they fold, because they have junk in the hole, I presume. Sometimes they don't fold and I check/call and then bet the river no matter what I hit and then they fold. This happens about a third of the time. So, I win more then half the pots this way.

But I don't know nuthin' 'bout no math - I just like pushing.

But if I had one card to come instead of two when I hit the fourth wheel, then I just call.
