Re: COTW: Betsizing

That's good advice against passive fish when we have a good hand (TPTK), against regulars we should vary our betsizing to induce lighter calls when making thin V bets, it is important to always take a look at board texture and put people on ranges and try to extract the max of their calling range IMO.

also overbet fish with the nuts if the board is wet

I started writing out some discussion points but don't think I can say it better than Split did w/

Finally we get some actual discussion. Of course the whole OP including the preflop line was meant as a joke to get the thread started.

As always you should think what you would like to accomplish with your preflop raise. Often you want a heads-up pot with position. Then think how to achieve that. 3x+1 or 4x+1 are just standard lines that often work. With 2x+1 you give setminers excellent odds and you most likely end up in a multiway pot.

Re: COTW: Betsizing

What are your thoughts on raising more preflop with premiuns when a 70/20 is in the blinds? like to 8bb UTG with AA

Re: COTW: Betsizing

You can obviously vary between the two too. I generally use 4x+1 from EP and 3x+1 from MP1 and on. I might do 4x+1 from the button because I've had a staggeringly higher steal success than with 3x+1.

^ It's super exploitable and even braindead monkeys are gonna pick that up. It seems to be somewhat the FOTM at uNL these days, I see a lot of people doing it at 2nl. I mean, against a maniac you obviously wanna raise to induce so raising even smaller than usual might be a better idea.
