Your BETTING
this is a 2 parter.
i just starte to play NL ring games. Ive played NL sit and goes for a bit now. Ok. In each of your "humble" opinions What is the size of your bets in a NL ring game. in fractions of the pot. do you fairly consistently be x$ preflop with a playable hand? when you bet after the flop if you hit do you bet? 1/2 the pot? 2/3 the pot? the Pot? etc If u dont hit do u bet 1/2 the pot etc etc? I personally would think that your gonna piss through your bankroll quickly if ur always betting the size of the pot. ok the 2nd part of the question. What exactly do you think the following terms mean (without using a dictionary) i want your own personal opinoions Value Bet: Continuation Bet: Protecting your hand? |

Re: Your BETTING
The answer to the question, "Do I want them to call or to fold?" determines the amount of the bet, and on the river if you want a call, then the question is, "how much will he call?". Finally, the the answer to the question, "how will a bet of size X be read by my opponent?" also factors in.

Re: Your BETTING
Well the reason Im asking this is because ive read MANY people on here saying they bet teh size of the pot, and others say they consistently bet 2/3 of the pot, and some are like, i wont be more then 3/4 of the pot. Just curious
my question may be stupid, i dunno. |

Re: Your BETTING
As a general guide
Preflop raise - 3xbb-6xbb Flop bet - 2/3pot- 1 and 1/3pot Turn - 2/3pot to pot River - 1/2pot upwards Although I realised as I was writing those out that they are utterly useless because everything is so situation based. |

Re: Your BETTING
I understand all situations are different, but a general guide is handy. but mang. the way i see it is that almost every pot u play if ur diong that ur gonna be using like half ur stack to play. yes not? like ur not going to a table with 10,000 dollars and if ur playing like that, u can easily get OVER involved in a pot. in my eyes at least. u could take HUGE swings if u dont win the pots. am i wrong thinking this?

[/ QUOTE ] its No limit...its not a timid game, you are going to take big swings and you are going to lose and win big pots. Unlike limit poker in no limit you have another weapon and that is your stack, you can use this weapon to make good hands fold and weak hands call. You use this weapon to set up an image for yourself and then the beauty of the game comes into play because thats where you use that image to get paid off. Maybe you bet out 3/4 of a pot on a continuation bet when you reraised a couple of rags preflop because you had position, you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar for a big pot on a stone bluff and it costs you your stack. That same showdown that cost you a buy in can end up being worth 3 or 4 times that in misinformation your opponents have. You gotta set em up and then take them out. |

Re: Your BETTING
2/3rd to a full pot is normal. There are times to over bet. Times to underbet would be when its unlikely to be straight or flush draws.
Value betting is with a hand that figure to win most of the time when called. Continuation bet is when you bet last round and it looks natural to bet this round. Protecting your hand is generally betting to shut out the draws, even if you are an underdog when you ARE called (imagine turning your hand up and then betting). - Louie |
