Sure I do Info bets, for example on a paired flop, all check and the button bets, I have to raise him to see if he wants to steal the pot or really has it. Or headsup I check the flop and get checked back I have to bet the turn to see if he has anything or folds. You can name them different, but I bet for Information (not always :aetsch:, for your notes)
Well, if you re-raise someone on a pair board, just to see if they are
bluffing or not, then you are pretty much bluffing yourself. There is no info in that, I mean even if you have something good, say A high or 2 pair, when shoved upon, it pretty much means they have it, and you just wasted chips, in case BU folds, then your
bluff got through. This is just bluffing only named info-bet but it really isn't.
Same goes for the other situation, if opponent has something he is going to call/raise and take it, while you wasted chips again. Also, there a lot of players today who like to go for the check/call line, as it saves chips. If they check, and call you after you bet, it doesn't really give you any info about the exact hand they have, and you will not know whether they have something strong enough to call another street or bad enough to fold to another bet on later street.
