Re: PNL Study Group Day 3: Pot Size
[ QUOTE ]
Assuming I check/call the flop, am I right in assuming we'll play this hand out as long as the pot stays small? For instance, if I check the turn and he checks as well, I might value bet the river. If, however, I check the turn and face a large bet, then I can safely fold and assume I was beat. Is this correct thinking?

your hand gets tough to play if he bets the turn. you can make a big mistake folding or calling.
value betting the river can be good or bad. against a nonaggro opponent a small value bet that looks like a blocking bet or donk bluff can work well. for example, say the pot's $45 on the river. you bet $10. amazing how many calls you get there.
you might lead the turn on any coordinated card too. or on any card if the ol' stop-and-go will work. be careful against better opponents. if you only stop-and-go with top pair or when you hit a draw, your opponent will often know you're betting weak top pair there.
