What's with the power-check on the Turn? You already had the str8 made so inducing others to to simply call couldn't be a reason. Or was this a fishy way to induce a raise?

I see guy's doing minimum raises and I figure 'Tricky' - 'watch out!' - Although once in a blue moon I'll try a power-check to induce a call if I'm on a draw. Works sometimes too (or at least I think it does)! I think others are also thinking 'Tricky' and rather than raise are inclined to just call although if I'm on the receiving end of a power-check I'm more likely to raise to see if I'm still ahead or about to re-raised by a monster hand.
