Re: Continuation Bets In SSNL
[ QUOTE ]
Watching an old WPT event with Stoltzmann v Chau Giang, Stoltzmann said "I thought you pros were supposed to play small pots with me", and "I'm looking to get in coin flip situations with you to avoid getting outplayed". Obviously JS is a smart young player and he recognizes the pros are better than him post-flop through experience.
Since 2+2ers on average should have an edge on the typical SSNL player, should we be trying to play smaller pots? If so, 1/2 pot bets are ideal even if aggro players see it as weakness and play back a bit more.

This really only applies to tournaments. In a tournament, you want to avoid big pots that you only have small edges in, because you can get a larger edge later (against lesser players). In a cash game, you want to take the small edges now AND the larger edges later, since you can just reload if it doesn't pan out.
