Default Re: The hardest spot in micro stakes poker? JJ from the SB

if it's 50/50 that he'll fold than a full pot bet should be profitable so it's ok to bet 3/4 of the pot.

er no - this is a RERAISED pot. imo betting more than 1/2 pot on any flop with ANY hand in a reraised pot is SPEW.

Look how big the pot will be if he calls a 3/4 pot bet relative to the stacks we are playing with.

What does a 3/4 pot bet accomplish that a half pot bet doesn't? - whether we flop an OP to the board a set or an underpair on an Ace high flop?

The pot is big because of the pf 3bet so it's unlikely he'll bluff or continue with worse than JJ.

So a 3/4 pot bet if we are planning to bet/fold wastes 1/4 of the pot worth of BB's - SPEW. Worse than that if villain flat calls our flop bet the pot is so big we have a tough decision to make if a brick Turns.
