Re: What is your \'standard bet\' in NL Hold\'em?
I've wondered about this as well. I know alot of players tend to bet the size of the pot, but what about your decent but not great hands when you're out of position (e.g. top pair w/KQ or KJ). If you happen to be beat, this makes you very susceptible to being trapped and losing a good portion of your stack on the turn or river. In the smaller NL games as well, it seems like alot players wouldnt call pot sized bets with hands you beat that you still want calling for an incorrect price (say, half the pot or so). Also, in a raised pot with several callers betting the pot on the flop alone can pot commit you in 50BB buy-in games. If I feel strongly that someone is on a draw heads up, Im much more inclined to bet closer to the size of the pot, or if I put them on a hand that wont fold but that I beat. Otherwise, I tend to play it more cautiously, perhaps this is wrong.
