Betting for information, raising more to define your hand and all that other tosh.

Can you all please give it up for new year. Raise for value or raise to steal, not the rest of that crap!

Probably.

In every context i have seem them used on this board it has been the reasoning behind bad play, they may well be terms that actually mean something in some circumstances.

I am here to learn, enlighten me!

I must say I've never quite understood the defining your hand thing - surely the object of the exercise is not to define your hand.  Although this does make multi-level thinking (don't think anyone's mention this yet in this thread) a bit difficult when the answer to "what does my opponent think I have" is "he doesn't have a feckin clue"
