In tournaments, I play lots of hands. I’ll put my money in with all kinds of connected cards, especially when in position. I might limp, I might min-raise or raise a little more than the minimum, depending on the circumstances. I’m looking to keep my table off balance so they don’t know where I’m coming from.

Bets That Define Your Hand and Bets That Leave Your Hand Undefined
There are many reasons to bet in poker. You may bet to get more money in the pot. You may bet to try to get others to fold. One reason people sometimes bet in poker is to define their hand.

How can the player with the 6h 7h possibly expect to win? What is happening is that Player B is setting up his bluff.
