Default Re: Big River Bet Strategy Question

When you can vary bet sizes they have meaning. I play a lot of 5-150 spread limit. A max river bet in a small pot is often the nuts or a bluff. You need to read opponents tendencies. If they are calling stations figure out what bet size they'll call and bet for value. Some will always call the max bet figuring you are bluffing.

I like to valuebet bluff good players with a reasonable bet size. A good player will sometimes lay down decent hands because he figures I can't be bluffing with a quarter pot bet. And it doesn't have to work that often to be profitable.
