Minimum bet is almost always a very weak hand or nothing at all.<br /><br />But sometimes a large full pot bet sizing on the river from a rec player can be a total bluff as we saw in the first example hand above.<br /><br />I actually think a half pot bet by a rec player on the river might be the real scary one haha!BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-46568944973729933022019-09-11T09:36:45.016+07:002019-09-11T09:36:45.016+07:00I am glad this article helped!

So I agree with the decision to just go ahead and ignore the bet and make a standard C-bet here.<br /><br />With that said, I think it can be ok to just call the minimum bet from time to time with some really weak draw. But overall, I prefer ignoring it and just making my standard C-bet.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-18925360082593384882019-09-11T09:14:35.120+07:002019-09-11T09:14:35.120+07:00The alpha and omega of live low stakes.Never haras...The alpha and omega of live low stakes.Never harass the fish,always be polite,always smile,always high five them and tell them nice play,and never ever ever make obvious that you are frustated after getting sucked out by a rediculus play.If you want to leave after such thing,its better to joke about it and say sth like,thats it for me,im saving the rest of my cash to buy me dinner,gas and wiskey Jimmy Greecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629113363159073584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-26812141374950663252019-09-11T08:42:54.892+07:002019-09-11T08:42:54.892+07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jimmy Greecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629113363159073584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-74895855485933510562019-09-11T03:40:30.029+07:002019-09-11T03:40:30.029+07:00Aren't you concerned about losing value?

On the other hand, if you C-bet the flop and they have a gut-shot or back-door flush draw, then they're more likely to chase it. I'm still fairly new, but one of the first recommendations that's improved my game is getting my money in early when appropriate.Matthew Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673107655419566325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-44946120706361916272019-09-11T03:18:53.966+07:002019-09-11T03:18:53.966+07:00Hi Nathan,

I would like to add that trying to defend mdf typically results in defending hands with good blockers, which is a big winrate booster for players like me who previously would just overfold heavily. Another benefit is learning that fish/tight regs really do have enough/too many bluffs SDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301315127438329591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-59664860052381878722019-09-11T01:31:56.385+07:002019-09-11T01:31:56.385+07:00i think what's more frustrating is a fish limp...i think what's more frustrating is a fish limp call your overpair and flopped two pair or set minimum donk onto you.

The river bet size tells you whether Villain has been trapping you all along, or is just being weird.<br /><br />Although for a counter-example, I once saw a live player act like this when he flopped the nut flush. The pot had gotten big pre-flop and four people saw it, and Main Villain bet $5 into a pot of $60 after three diamonds came on the flop. The rest of us just lookedTarl Kudrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440312073810913559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-68561842146358115702019-09-10T22:29:13.517+07:002019-09-10T22:29:13.517+07:00This is a great article, and it was applicable to ...This is a great article, and it was applicable to a hand someone brought up to me recently. He declared that "the villain was a bad player so he'd never do what he did!" I said, "he's a bad player, so you don't know what he would do. You have to defend with good hands."<br /><br />Thanks!

In reference to Hand #2, in my experience online when facing the minimum c-bet (I call it a "lure bet"), I will typically call because it is a cheap way to see another card. The key is the river. If Villain hit his draw, or was trying to keep me in when he has a premium hand, the river bet will be big. If he missed, it will be small, so his hand announces Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957087543515626706noreply@blogger.com
