Re: Half Pot Limit Badugi
[ QUOTE ]
According to (I don't remember which book) Cloutier in any PL game you should only bet and raise the pot so as to not become readable at all. If you're not betting the Half Pot you're likely to lose a lot of value later on for your monster lows.

This is a Cloutier idiosyncrasy; a lot of people would disagree with that. Of course you don't want to be betting the pot when you are strong and half the pot when you are weak, but it would be OK to bet the pot when there are plenty of draws possible and 2/3 the pot when the board is very dry. This is regardless of whether you are bluffing or have the nuts.
I think in this game half the pot is almost always appropriate. Maybe if your opponents are too tight you could get the same effect from slightly smaller bets.
