. You check; Player 2 bets $10. You call. Turn . You check. Player 2 bets $15; you call. River 10
. You believe your opponent has nothing.
How should you play your hand to make the most of it?
Correct Answer: Bet $10
A small bet like this looks like a blocking bet. Your opponent may see this blocking bet as weakness (since blocking bets are designed to see cheap showdowns) and choose to raise your weak blocking bet as a bluff. Basically your small blocking bet is actually a bet to induce a raise, which in the end will net you more money than just checking and hoping he bluffs.
