I have always thought these bets could be used in a very effective style. Not only do you gain value in a hand like in your example, people will now also respect the blocker bet almost like a normal bet when you are drawing and want to get to a cheap showdown. As long as it is used in moderation I think it can be a valuable tool.

I think the danger here is talking yourself into calling lighter because "the guy is raising me with nothing because he is frustrated/thinks it's a BB."
