CB: General theory question

[Wes]

That has a lot to do with it. Games are getting tougher and it takes an ability to read hand ranges well and to know what you expect your opponent to think what your hand range is to be successful now. This probably deserves another thread though to discuss further.

These last few points are very interesting. I would think that raising the bet, whether it was a CB or a check bet would be a much riskier play than the whiff bet.

I have found myself making the raise of the CB latley (and profitably), but it usually because I have caught some part of the flop or have high cards myself.
