Advanced Theory: Winning a half bet
 

Ok here she is. Your at a limit table, 6 handed. 3 fold, your heads up with AJ. The flop comes KJ4. BB bets, you raise, he calls, turn blank card, he checks you bet, river another blank he checks you check. At a limit table you just saved yourself a half bet!!! Since u checked the Riv but raised the turn, you did 3 things, first...saved a half bet because of the larger river bet, second, positioned yourself for an extra full bet if you fill (another jack or perhaps ace) and third, tested out his hand strength. If he has k3 he may just fold!!! also, he may be bluffing and may fold, either way your way better off with this raise. Note here if he reraises you you must fold!~

I have been doing this for months on short handed tables as part of my super aggressive play. The half bets add up!
let me know what you think about this advanced poker theory.

the larger river bet has been kicking my ass for so long now, I have no idea how to handle it anymore.

Also, I see you have many great theories like this one. The one in SSH with the aces is the best. Keep up the good work! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I was gunna say something really clever like "my black marble is in the box". But then I couldnt remember which marble meant "in favor of" the black one, or the white one [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I cant understand your logic.

J, I think Alobar is referring to the marbles in the box of the book "The Chocolate War". Anyone, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
