Default Re: J6o hand in BB

Since you're trying to get to showdown cheap, the blocking bet will be smaller than a value bet. Need to be careful not to make it too obvious though or you'll get too much playback on your blocking bets.

One rule of thumb for value bets is PSB on flop, 2/3 PSB on turn, 1/2 PSB on river. If villian is willing to call more then you can bet more.

I don't like to block too small, like less than 1/4 on river, as the good LAG's will come back over the smallish bets.

And Dave, regarding bet size/pattern, when you've noticed a player consistently coming over turn/river blocking bets huge, you can sometimes induce action with a feigned blocking bet.
