Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread
There's what appears to be an inconsistency in the book that I haven't seen discussed anywhere (if I missed it, please point me in the right direction).
The authors recommend a default bet size of 2/3 pot. Yes, I know that isn't always a perfect bet size, but since sometimes smaller will be better and sometimes larger will be better, I translate that as recommending "on average" a 2/3 pot bet.
However, in all the justification for why certain SPRs are good for some hands and bad for others, those SPRs are calculated based on full pot-sized bets. Wouldn't it be more consistent to use 2/3 pot-sized bets in all those SPR calculations?
A similar comment could apply to the recommendation to not put more than 1/3 of the stack in without being committed.
I know someone is going to respond "they are not inconsistent. Do you see why?". The answer is "No, I don't see why. Please explain."
