NL25 KQ vs. LAG

umaveryd · #1 07-02-2006, 08:05 PM

Villian is 61/19 through 57 hands.
Villian has called down with bottom/middle pair. He once over-bet the pot when and ace flopped against his KK, but that over-bet was much larger than his river bet here.

I was planning on c/f the turn if I didn't pick anything up.
Criticism on any and all streets appreciated. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hero realizes why blocking bets are so important, and folds without knowing whether he really had the best hand or not.

What's a good sized blocking bet?

1/4, 1/2, 2/3 pot?

Usually 1/4 is going to be way too readable, and even small stakes players will take shots at you. I tend to use 1/2 pot, because I don't think 2/3 makes them fold much more, or makes them raise less. 2/3 would be more of a value bet.
