One moment they pot it, the next moment they “dinky bet” for 5% of the pot, and sometimes they just randomly go all in for several times the pot. <br /><br />Its important in these spots to keep your head cool and not level yourself into trying to understand, what a specific bet size mean.Lars Kyhnau Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407178631383799249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-11823384664274617242019-01-21T21:58:21.531+07:002019-01-21T21:58:21.531+07:00Hi, glad I could help, Doug's material is exce...Hi, glad I could help, Doug's material is excellent also!

But I realise it mostly applies to pot sized bets. Anyways thanks for the fast reply!

Professional no limit vol 1 describes this as the commitment threshold and any bet made beyond this point should commit you to the hand. How can we justify calling the flop bet just to fold to a turn barrel?

There might be sets or made draws on the river.<br />My rule: An overpair is just a very good pair, neither a set or a street etc. Thomas K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13741969914177340466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-23257508298058125662019-01-12T17:25:45.785+07:002019-01-12T17:25:45.785+07:00Thanks Dfox you too!Thanks Dfox you too!BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-82119403878318460392019-01-11T21:09:07.766+07:002019-01-11T21:09:07.766+07:00Great read Thanks, hope You have a Great day Natha...Great read Thanks, hope You have a Great day Nathan Peace . . .

One thinks of it as a premium hand, but there are 3 better premiums and they often hit a flop (or seem to, anyway). Second, I'm very wary when an opponent throws a dinky bet in on the turn. It is almost always intended to induce you to go big, and it works much of the time. To me it's pretty much a signal that my opponent has theMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957087543515626706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-25854350620291066302019-01-08T22:23:08.691+07:002019-01-08T22:23:08.691+07:00Hey Gary glad this article helped!
That's a ...Hey Gary glad this article helped! <br /><br />That's a tough spot and I mix it up a lot depending on the player type. For example, if I have KK and the flop comes Axx I may check/call a little more often than CBet versus a really aggressive player. Versus a calling station or a weak reg, I may CBet more often.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-13785988532873260822019-01-08T21:12:44.430+07:002019-01-08T21:12:44.430+07:00Thanks Nathan, I needed this, probably more than m...Thanks Nathan, I needed this, probably more than most!
