1: Bet enough
Level 2. Stacks are all ~T1000.
Two players in unraised pot
Flop comes J plus rags
First guy min bets (he had middle pair).
Second guy raises 3X his bet (he had A J ).
First guy calls.
Another blank on the turn, but it First guy pairs again and now has the best hand. He checks, TPTK goes all-in, and he calls and wins.
There are a lot of things to learn from this.
First, what what the purpose of TPTK's raise?
Was it to fold middle-pair, or to get more money in the pot?
If he was trying to fold him, he should have bet more. The stacks are still big and 3BB is not enough to fold middle pair.
If he was trying to get more money in the pot, it worked. But then he wants to fold him and goes all-in.
Darn, I have some more questions now about why he didn't raise his A J in the first place. He may have been in middle or early position.
