Default Re: When is it a Big Pot?

Frankly, I don't really think in terms of small, medium, or big pots. I think about actual bets in the pot, and how likely I am to win it, and whether it is worth taking the risk to do so. For example, if the pot is 10SB with only 3 players and I have position with 2 overs, I will definitely think this pot is worth winning and play aggressively.

On the other hand, with 8 SB in the pot with 8 people and I'm holding 2 overs, I'm much more likely to let this go, since against this field, winning is less likely. The 2 SB difference is pretty insignificant, I think it strongly depends on the likelihood that you win the pot and what it might cost you to do so (basically, if in the long run, it is worth it).
