Just wondering everyone's opinion since I have been seeing this a lot lately. I have seen many players with a stack size of 9-15 big blinds opening (especially under the gun) with a raise amount of 1/3 or half their stack. I know on face value this looks like it is a very strong raise since they are betting less than all in because they want a call but I am wondering if players are doing this as a bluff more often than not?
The hands I have seen go to showdown have been generally split between strong hands and hands that are not good enough to shove but too good to fold (suited and unsuited broadways). Any thoughts on this if you use it as bluff tactic or when you see it happen what your initial thoughts are at the table?
