Default Re: $50 stars... pocket 7s... stuff happens

Why do u guys alway cbet so much?? 3/4 pot is more than enough. You have no FE, unlikely that he's testing you. If you test him and shove you ruin your draw, and make it -EV, because he's not folding often enough. All you can do here is to make a breakeven call and hope for a good river.

You have a marginal hand in a 3-way pot in a bad position. Now imagine that you bet 4.5 into a 6.75 pot instead of 6. You gain the same information much more cheaply and for a lot less risk. On the turn the pot is 15.75, you bet 2/3 pot, 10$ he minraises you to 20$, you call with even better odds than in the original hand, miss your draw and have invested only 1/2 of your stack instead of 3/5. In the long run, this difference gains you a lot.
