Message: [QUOTE="JimmyBrizzy, post: 1412545, member: 29758"] Wow, that's a lot of effort. Congrats on the 1k! I think you're going to get some heat from people on this whole probe bet idea... I assume this is the same concept as betting for information? I have usually found the whole idea of betting for information to be a waste of money in poker of any form. Especially in SnG's I would see this as a bigger leak since you start w/ a smaller amount of blinds than you would have in most cash games. Therefore this probe bet should be giving you accurate information and be worth the investment. However, it's usually hard to tell what information you're gaining and how reliable it is. Now if this "probe bet" is made for the purpose of inducing a bluff and gaining value, or b/c you find that it is a cheap and effective way to bluff, then I'm all for that concept... I'm just not sure many players would consider that type of bet as a probe bet. [/QUOTE]
