Re: Bet Folding
[ QUOTE ]
It's late & the sleeping pills are kicking in, so I won't try to type out a full answer tonight. But the short version is, when I bet/fold it's very likely that either I had absolutely nothing & was hoping to steal the pot with a bet, or that I have a read on my opponent as being extremely passive and/or straightforward & can trust that his raise means monster.
While I do agree that it's an important part of any good player's LHE arsenal, that doesn't mean that I like doing it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] This of course assumes a HU pot.

Agreed. I hate b/f'ing. The situations where it comes up are very limited... to the two mentioned by Harv here. In LHE I am a pathological showdown monkey, so I will usually bet when I think I'm ahead, and check when I think I'm behind. If convinced that I'm beat I fold.. but usually if I've made it to the river I have a showdown-worthy hand.
