21 small bets on average in the pot? I can\'t find those games!
In the Capellettie book the author has his own Capelletti Rule about a good game. He talks about a good game if on average 5 players see the flop. I can understand his arguments for this being a decent game. However he states furthermore that a game like this will on average have about 21 small bets in the pot.
The games that fall under the first criterium I can find, however non of these games have on averege 21 small bets in the pot. I would say they have on average about 14 bets in the pot. Am I playing in these games at the wrong time (I live in the Netherlands)? Or do these games not exist? |

Huh. I forgot when he said that.
I generally look for a game with an average pot of 10BB, which is just slightly less than 21SB, I s'pose. There are times when it's impossible to find games like that. And, when I think I find one, I get on the waiting list, and by the time I get into the game, I find out that the dead man's boots I'm filling are those of the now-departed fish, and the table promptly tightens back up to 6-7BB average pots, while PlayerView paints money bags next to all the same familiar opponents. I generally have better luck finding good games after 11:00 PM EST, which would be in the wee morning hours for you dutch. |

There are games like this on party poker quite frequently during prime time (8pm-1am EST).

Doesn't that suck? And now they expect you to fill his role as well. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] On party .5/1.00 I found that small pot sizes tend to reflect people checking the flops and the turns when they don't catch anything or are drawing. There are still almost always 5+ people seeing that flop though. I'll sit down and bet all my draws for the first round or two. That tends to loosen the table up. |

I've kind of noticed the same thing. In fact, I'm often pot-size ahead if I sit down to a low avg pot table and just start betting the flops.
