probe bet

[DannyD]

I love making a probe bet when i see no action in the table or when i play first on a table. What do you think of probe bet? Is it worthy?

Making a probe bet you can actually see where you stand at the table. A nice size for the probe bet is between 1/2 and 1/3 the pot size. In my opinion it's worthy playing like this cause you ll have an idea of the table and the remaining players. And the last is that you don't let anyone to get a free card!

It's a nice stealing move and you get a good image of the table too

How do you play if you get re-raised after the probe bet??

if the player who re-raises you is an aggressive player you can push him further.
