Default Dinner with Dan Question

Anyone read the Dinner with Dan article in the forum magazine? It states you should not bet more than neccesary to make your opponent make a mistake. They give the TP vs. flush draw as an example. I've always bet big in these scenarios because I know that many people will chase anyways so why not get the maximum from them when they miss 2/3 of the time? Anyone have any ideas on why they advocate betting smaller than the pot?

because you want them to make a mistake. Don't make it clear to him that he should fold, and then hope that he calls anyway. Make it a close and tough decision for him, but make it correct to fold. Then hope that he makes a mistake and calls. FLush draws and NL are cool becuase you can offer him incorrect odds to make his flush on the next street and make it appear to him that he has correct odds to chase. But you are going to do the same thing on the turn, so he doesn't really have correct odds.

The assumption in the article is that if you make a pot size bet, somebody with a flush draw will fold. Therefore, you need to bet less than that so that they will call despite not having the right odds to do so. However, if your opponent will call a pot size bet on a flush draw, it would be correct to bet that much. Your goal is for them to make the biggest mistake possible and if they are willing to call off their stack on a flush draw, feel free to push.

ur right. If they'll pay, then charge 'em the max.

DH is writing with larger buy in live tourneys mainly in mind. In a small buyin online tourney, you can and should charge more
