Default Re: Betting the pot

I would love a link as well.

As to OP....personally I think there are MANY benifits to NOT always potting it. I think both of my favorites are related to a just large enough bet on the riv to LOOK like you want a call.

Amazingly I feel many times betting the "just bigger than small" bet is a better bluff/buy move than betting pot. Also, when you "get there" on the riv you make the same type of bet (one so now they don't know when it is a bluff and not) to get that "I know I'm beat but it's so little" call........or better yet.....the "MAYBE I can bluff him out of the pot" reraise......of course doing this without the NUTS makes for some terrible decisions you don't want (SO DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU ARE BEAT OR KNOW YOU HAVE THEM BEATEN).


P.S. I am a reckless, loose, aggressive, fish-maniac......my opines mean little.
