We should not be putting ourselves in tough spots by "value betting" too much.
Under-betting to avoid hard decisions is a double-edged sword that will slit the neck, wrists and ankles of your bankroll (melodrama ftw):
The *best* part of LLSNL is that
bet-folding is never a difficult decision! The VAST MAJORITY, WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, of LLSNL players are showdown monkeys who will not raise on a semibluff, will not raise a straight on a three-flush board, will not raise 2-pair on a 4-straight board, etc....they will, however, raise THE NUTS on each of the above board textures.
Knowing this (that live donks play ultra-transparent, and give VIRTUALLY NO FALSE/MISLEADING INFO), we can correctly bet-fold whenever we believe we'll be good 60% of the time. Most LLSNL grinders are reluctant to push a 60-40 edge consistently as the variance is quite high, but this is the way that a 10bb/hr winrate is achieved.
