Cont bet seems way too big to me. It's a very dry flop, I certainly wouldn't be betting this much with an overpair. I don't hate the cont bet so much, although you're getting called by a pocket pair a very high percentage of the time, from 77 and up.

i think this was one of those, "if u play, you're gona hafta play for your whole stack" type of situations. I don't know how others read his bet, but he's betting 1/3rd of the villains' stack, essentailly their entire stack, and can still get away, no?

True, but they have to consider that Hero as the original raiser has an overpair a lot here too, and are they willing to go the distance on their "77".

I would be betting around this much with an overpair a lot of the time with TWO OPPONENTS, maybe not 1.

I hate the big c-bet. Seems like spewing to me, as a cheaper bet probably has almost as much FE.

You should be cbetting more with your big hands.

I like a pot sized cbet because people will rarely make moves at you. Thats more of a general statement. But I feel like the higher level games you play the more likely a good player will see a 1/2 pot cbet and just raise you all day. That may be what your looking for, but most likely not.

The larger cbet you make also means that an opponent will have to commit larger portions of his stack when he decides to stay in the hand. So you essentially control when the pots get really big. The difference in chips is not a ton and in the scheme of a SNG the difference between saving a few chips on a cbet isnt nearly as important as what you can do with bigger cbets.

as strassa said you're looking to get raised---

here it looks to me the c-bet is too small if anything.

Do you still fire CB most hands you raise preflop?

I'd imagine you would have to cut back a good amount.

Depends more so on how often you raise PF, no?

don't you think that in this particular hand a smaller c-bet of about 175 would still make either Villain feel like they had to commit their whole stack to continue, while leaving them more exposed when they raise cos the pot is smaller?

"don't you think that in this particular hand a smaller c-bet of about 175 would still make either Villain feel like they had to commit their whole stack to continue, while leaving them more exposed when they raise cos the pot is smaller? "

It might, it might not. For 75 more chips (which have some equity because I might win the pot anyway when my opponent calls), is it worth taking a chance that the opponent doesn't view both bet sizes the same way?
