since when are 5:1 and 20:4 different?

since whoever invented hold'em decided not to multiple the postflop bet size by the number of small bets someone put in preflop.

Thanks, now I don't have to think of a coherent response, and yours is much much wittier than what I had started writing. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

EDIT: But I will try a more helpful analysis anyways. If we are 4 handed I would put 1SB preflop in with 22 as even though I am 7.5:1 to hit a set I can easily make up that 3.5BB if I do hit a set. But if I'm putting in 4SB, I have to make up 4 times that (15SB postflop) which usually ain't happening.
