Re: Betting to Disrupt the Pot Odds
Just for giggles, I extrapolated this into pre-flop raise sizes. Like, if you have no self-control and can't fold your QQ when the flop comes Axx or 9c8c7c, how much do you have to bet to kill the implied odds of hands you are 2:1 against (AXs, KXs), 7:3 against (AXo, KXo), or 4:1 against (98s, 55), etc? The answer seems to be:
bet = (pot + max_stack) * heads_up_odds
(800 + 50) * 1/2 = 426
(800 + 50) * 3/7 = 364
(800 + 50) * 1/4 = 213
Betting 60% of your stack would be rather silly obviously.
