Re: Pot sweeteners?
This idea makes no sense to me. Wasn't there a thread a few weeks ago where AZK was asking about a very similar situation, and we found out that the math makes it unprofitable every time? I play drawing hands much the same as made hands and bluffs; I don't underbet to build the pot for a draw.
Obviously, betting and raising in the two situations you detailed make lots of sense for various reasons, but would you ever make the same small bets with top hands? The second example seems the strangest. You have 12 outs (45:12 or a bit under 4:1 to hit) to a winner and you're getting 1:1 on any money you put in with no fold equity. This cannot be profitable in a vaccuum.
