A hypothetical question.
You're playing in your normal game (most players 100BB stacks or so). Before you start you have to choose ONE bet size relative to the pot (eg pot, 1/2 pot, 2/3 pot etc.). This will be the only size bet you can make on the flop and turn. Preflop, river and all raises and reraises are normal. Your opponents have no restrictions. They don't know that you are doing this.
1. What size bet do you choose?
2. How much do you think this limitation costs you compared to normal play?
3. What situations does this hurt you most?
If you think some aspect of your game (shorthanded, whatever) is relevant then please say so.
I know this scenario is totally hypothetical but i'ts just a way to start discussion about bet size, play balancing and information leakage so feel free to talk generally.
Thanks in advance,
James
