Default Re: A quote - Agree or Disagree?

[ QUOTE ]
In the early stages of those Sit and Gos almost all flop and turn bets should be made with the aim of winning the pot then and there.

What buy-in? what site (i.e, what is your stack size?). I would agree that generally any bet, as I see it, especially on the flop and many times on the turn, is aimed at taking the pot there and then.

If you don't think you stand any chance of winning the pot you should just check...or push in

[/ QUOTE ]

What does "stand a chance of winning the pot" mean? I will try to bet hard enough, but with an option to abort if it doesn't work (fold). Pushing does not make sense if the pot is relatively small. Pushing might make sense on the turn, for instance, if there's a chance your opponent will fold a better hand, and again on the river. It depends on your read. Otherwise, on low buy-ins, in early stages, this is completely wrong, and checking agaist calling stations is wiser, if you don't have a hand.
