Default Re: A Blocking Bet

I normally don't block a whole PSB. I guage the sizes of my blocking bets to my opponent -- whatever the smallest bet I can put out that he won't raise unless he has a stronger hand, that's the size I use. On this particular hand against this particular opponent, that meant $7.50. Normally though, half pot or 2/3 pot does the trick.

Looking at this hand on the screen, I sure don't feel like I was behind at any point. But during the hand I had a very strong 'spidey sense' that the opponent had the flush. This was a player read.
