Default Re: Truly random bets

I dont think randomizing your bets would help you that much. Sure people wouldnt be able to read your by the amount you bet but at the same time you kill your opportunities to value bet and are likely to end up putting too much/too little in the pot at crucial points where you are trying to take it down or cut down on the odds to draw.

Seems to me your bigger problem may be that you arnt mixing it up enough. Obviously there are general ranges as to what the appropriate bet is in a given situation, but sometimes you need to bet when you arnt ahead or slow things down when you have a monster. Obviously we know what those are but if your opponent knows that a check doesnt necessarily mean your weak or a bet doesnt mean your strong, the exact value of the bet has less meaning and its harder to put you on a hand based on what your betting. I guess I'm saying that you should mix up your bets, but doing so completely randomly (as to the bet amount) is probably not the best strategy.
