Betting for information.
This is something I've thought about some, and was wondering how everyone else feels about this idea.
The main disadvantage to betting for information I feel is that a perceptive opponent will start to notice that this indicates weakness and play back at you. In a way, the bet becomes senseless because it no longer yields information, and there's a significant chance it'll just be lost. I've played plenty of heads-up matches where I've picked up on this and stolen a lot of pots as a result. So, if you're to bet for information, it seems it would be important to also make the same bets when you have strong hands, like two pair or better. I think this should tend to make your opponent prone to only raise with legitimate hands. Generally, I prefer to make the same pot-sized bet if I'm going to bet at all just to avoid potentially revealing weakness.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
