Re: It\'s about time we had this discussion
I tried varying my bets depending upon the strength of my hand after NLHET+P came out. I quickly got the impression my small bets were correctly perceived as marginal/drawy holdings and big bets got significantly less action. I gave up after a while and went back to a standard pot bet - with exceptions against short stacks and from the blinds. To be honest, if I were to try it again I might try betting big with marginal holdings and small with stronger hands.
Varying bet sizes might be a good idea if you are playing against people too dumb to realize what's going on. However, those games are pretty rare at even the $100NL level. Against tougher opposition you give away too much information. Mixing it up gives away less, but then you get less benefit.
