I actually like his play, except I don't think there's any fold equity here, so I think calling is a better choice.

It's a value raise.  He doesn't want them to fold.

Yeah but the point is CB, firstly that isn't what you said.  You made a comment implying that CD has a "mystical approach" to the game.  This is just sniping at someone for no reason.  It's a pity you didn't say this initially.

Well, I can have multiple opinions about an HH.  Having multiple opinions doesn't make one of them wrong, and it doesn't mean I changed my mind.

I don't say anything without a reason.  If I say something, it's because I hope I will learn something, or someone else will learn something, in the process.

I actually like his play, except I don't think there's any fold equity here, so I think calling is a better choice.  But I think raising intending to fold is awful here.

And I get the distinct impression from his posts that he relies so much on "reads" that his approach to the game can be described as mystical.  I.e. his plays tend to be based upon his thoughts, rather than upon cold hard facts and objective probabilities.  I always go back to something that to me is the truth:  What I think my opponent is holding is determined more by what I ate for breakfast than by what he's actually holding.

I guess I don't get what your saying.  Poker is a game of imperfect information, you'll never know for sure what a player has.  You have to be able to make some kind of estimate.
