PNL Study Group Day 5: Pot Control

[Matt Flynn]

[ QUOTE ]
On page 68 there is a discussion of betting less when the board is uncoordinated in order to exercice pot control. Just so I am clear, this applies when you have a decent but potentially vulnerable hand like top pair and not when you miss and are c-betting, correct? In other words, you can sort of put the "must control pot" concern out of your mind when c betting a missed flop because you'll check/fold the rest of the hand anyway assuming villains call, correct?

yes you are right. when you miss and are cbetting pot control is not the issue, although if you think you might fire twice consider how big you want the pot to be when you fire the second barrel.
