Default Re: Should my PFR% be lower at the lower limits?

[ QUOTE ]
If you're putting in two bets to win ten, you don't need to win 50% of the time. Winning 25% or even 20% of the time still makes raising EV, especially if it won't limit the field.

This is important and bears calling out. Remember, we're playing to win money, not win pots. As long as your bets and raises are consistently going in when you have an equity edge, they are +EV by definition.

Yes, you will suffer painful losses when some joker catches an overcard, but we're playing for the long term and betting/raising when you have an equity edge is the best way to make money.

Checking and calling may save you bets in the pot right now, but it's going to cost you overall long-term.
