Oftentimes, it is very feasible to put out a minimum bet or a minimum raise to get information from another player about their possible holdings. WhenI am in late position or on the button, I will sometimes put out a feeler bet(minimum bet) when I am checked to by 2 or more other players, or the minimum raise if the player comes out with the minimum bet. Two outcomes can occur, they can all fold leaving me with the pot which is good or 1 or 2 of the players can call indicating to me that they either have a hand of equal or better value to mine or they could be on a draw.
When the second outcome occurs, it's usually a good indicator to me to check in early position or to fold to a substantial bet from someone in late position. This single tactic in my play has been a crucial determining factor in how well I've done in tournaments in the past. With disciplined play, informational betting can be a great asset to your game.
