He called himself out for a "clarification" when it's actually completely different from what was said before.
If you read the first post in full, it sounds nothing like a more tentative "I'm just check-calling unless I improve" and more like an aggressive "How do I maximize my value? Can I get 6 bets in on the turn?"
Especially for players who are somewhat new, this type of re-defining the strategy is a common fundamental error. It's critically important to have clarity on the reasons we make the decisions we do, and this type of slipperiness leads nowhere healthy. We have to face up to our logic truthfully, otherwise there's not much chance for improvement.
(It's okay to be wrong. Discovering we're wrong gives us chances to get better. That opportunity is lost if the narrative is changed mid-stream.)
