Betting the Pot in PL


Recommended Posts

Mostly for Daniel...I just read an article you wrote ("Fluke or Good Play", AJ vs. a flush) where you said you would explain why you don't usually bet the pot in pot limit.I'd be very interested in that article, so I'd like to make a formal request for you to do it, if you have a chance.Thanks!For everyone else...what are your thoughts on betting size in PL (or NL)? TJ Cloutier said in his book that he usually bets the pot size. Makes it simpler, I would say.

That is a very good question. I like to bet more than the pot in NL when I need to protect my hand, but only if i'm sure my hand is good at the moment. In PL I bet the pot for the same reason. But, if you bet the pot all the time, you become mechanical, so you gotta swith up your play. That way you can bet a small amount into an aggressive player, looking like you're weak, so you can come over the top of him when he raises. I try never to do the same thing. But I don't rarely bet the size of the pot either. Honestly seems silly to me. Kinda want to find out why, too.
