The button
Hey all. Just started playin UB more lately, bonus whoring and all that, 25 and 50 NL tables mostly. Anyway, does anyone on here play their suited connectors/drawing hands less on UB due to most players' adherence to the "Bet Pot" button? Id played the Stars and Party low-stakes NL tables alot, and players, especially on Stars, will rarely bet the pot, especially once it becomes decent sized. I have mixed feelings about the button, as it has allowed me to win big pots far more often as players become quickly committed with good but not great hands when I have them beat. Players also seem more willing to call big bets b/c they've grown so accustomed to seeing pot-sized bets. This does make it very difficult, though, when you have flush/straight draw hands, b/c while you may have marginally ok implied odds to call a flop bet, there's no way you can call on the turn if the pot is heads up. Does this affect anyone's preflop selection?
