He probably wasn't realizing that the river bet was basically exactly like a limit situation where he bets 1 unit into like 6 and I snap call because that's what you do.<br /><br />Pope I agree that my bet sizing really wasn't very good throughout the hand. I should have made it 15 or even 20 pre, and as played I should have bet more like 50 on the flop and then been able to shove the turn. But it sure turned out to be a lot funnier this way.jesse8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/04372291760946904904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834507208618294785.post-29711284962599612622011-06-18T18:39:48.708-07:002011-06-18T18:39:48.708-07:00I'm guessing it wasn't "you can't...I'm guessing it wasn't "you can't lay down kings, can you?" as in "well you obviously can't lay down kings there, can you?"The blindmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02677139641680516700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834507208618294785.post-5885087234963073302011-06-17T14:48:36.136-07:002011-06-17T14:48:36.136-07:00oh, and nh gg.oh, and nh gg.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470592484476203183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834507208618294785.post-2065963057755539162011-06-17T14:47:54.851-07:002011-06-17T14:47:54.851-07:00I know you're not a NLHE guy Jesse, but this i...I know you're not a NLHE guy Jesse, but this is pretty standard. Check out 'Professional NLHE' - specifically the section on stack to pot ratios. Without knowing the other stacks, your SPR is 5 on the flop. In a multi-way pot, that's a bit high for a hand that typically flops an overpair. However, my experience is in small NLHE games like this, I'm ok with a higher SPR with a multi-way pot because your opponents will stack off a lot lighter than someone with half a functioning brain would (see T7 guy).Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470592484476203183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834507208618294785.post-45103621114330632982011-06-17T12:26:43.996-07:002011-06-17T12:26:43.996-07:00I have played quite a bit of low limit NL live, so...I have played quite a bit of low limit NL live, so I have some advice. A 4x opening raise is fine, but after a limper, I would make it 5 to 6x. Remember these games are raked heavily, so getting good money in preflop when you have a big advantage and they love to call is the name of the game.<br /><br />On the flop, if you have no pair and are just making a c-bet to see what happens, your bet is fine, but I agree it should be a bit bigger, I usually go for 2/3 of the pot as a value bet. You aren't playing this game daily, so your infrequent post flop bets won't be much of a tell.<br /><br />As for the river, I could see a check call or a shove. And lol @ him for expecting an $80 river shove to get someone to fold kings in a $440ish pot.that_popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337434703938578836noreply@blogger.com
