Probe Bet

Similar to a "blocking bet," a "feeler bet" is usually a small, leading bet made after the flop. However, while a blocking bet is often made late in the hand (e.g., on the river) explicitly to prevent an opponent from betting larger, a feeler bet is generally a less specific attempt to gather information from how others respond. Sometimes called a "feeler bet."
