Re: 10k Post. Manipulating Pot Size in Mid-Game
 

[ QUOTE ]
same... thanks for the bump. Great thread

question though-- you say "open shoving is worse then betting 300 b.c. more worse hands will fold out"

Is there any positive knowing this just to take the pot down w/o a showdown b.c. there are enough chips in the pot?

Gary, I'm guessing the point was there weren't enough chips in the pot at this point to merit just taking it down and that's why you should raise small to get value.
