Default Re: When is it a Big Pot?

I think it's good to get out of thinking about things in terms of "big pots" versus "small" and "medium" pots.

Here is what matters: the quality of your hand, the size of the bet you make or call, and the number of bets in the pot. All this together guides action. Pot size is contextual. I think instead of asking "at what point is a pot big?" it is more prudent to ask, "in this situation, at what point is the pot big enough?" That might seem like splitting hairs, but I think i'ts an important distinction.
