Default Re: Value Betting Question

Generally bet more when there are straight and flush draws out, bet less when there are not.

Your thinking about wanting the draws in is a disaster. These are the folks that have huge implied odds over you. If you bet half the pot heads up the opponent is getting 3:1 for his 4:1 draw to make it on the turn. Surely he can make that extra missing 1 up from you on turn or river when he makes it.

Its MUCH worse when you don't know what kind of draw he has. If the board is Q-T-4 2-flush, how do you like getting called with say KQ? So bet more.
