how much to bet to protect hand (General Question)
 

I keep hearing people critize others for not betting the pot on a flop with a flush draw or some other draw. When people bet 2/3 of the pot, otheres comment bet more.

Okay, so how much do you bet against someone assuming
1 player and 2 playres assuming

a. flush draw
b. straight draw
c. A person has 1 pair vs your AA

if you are certain that they are on an 8 out draw, the just bet the highest amount you think they will call that is at least 1/2 of the pot.

i also find this interest because when i watch the WPT, a lot of players bet way too little into someone with a flush draw. Sexton goes wow bettting. I see people on WPT bet like 1/3 of the pot into someone with a flush draw and Sexton goes wow at making a bet.

Does sexton even know about how small a price that guy is betting is wrong?

Just bet two thirds of the pot two thirds of the time whether you hit the flop or not, regardless of the board.

yea i know. But i hear green plastic saids he bets 3/4 of the pot. I always then hear people saying you didnt bet enough when its flush draw.

you seem to be looking for a cure-all panacea and it just doesn't work like that.

If you think they will fold anything more than 1/2 the pot with their draw, then bet 1/2 the pot. If you think they will call pot, bet pot. If you think they will call all in with only 8 outs then just overbet shove all in.

if they are a donkey over bet the pot, if they arent and its on the flop and you bet the pot youll probably get shoved at anyways, so just play some poker.
