- We do almost always have the equity advantage so pushing that advantage will be +EV
- Population over-folds to small bets, even with conventional wisdom that low stakes players are stations, 80% of a BB range is a lot to defend.
- One of the obvious exploits to you betting too often with a small size is to check raise way more, which the majority of the low stakes population simply won't do.
- Executing a simplified strategy near perfectly will often have better results than executing a higher EV strategy that is more complicated and causes you to make more mistakes.
I realized this, thanks.
I moved to structuring an heuristics so I can pick one single size per spot which should be a bit better and still not as complicated as balancing two sizes per spot.
I've been working on a similar method for the turn and it makes a lot of sense.
On the river though, it seems to get tricky, do you think we can get away with it there too? Or having at least two sizes there on some spots is needed to not sacrifice much EV?
Thanks!
