Re: PNL Study Group Day 5: Pot Control
[ QUOTE ]
I have 2 things I'd like to discuss from this chapter:
1. On page 72, you talk about the trickiest exception of all, the balance between small pot control and punishing draws. You mention several things to consider after considering your opponents and your hand. The 3 you mention are:
1. Stack sizes
2. Pot size
3. Recent game flow.
I'm wondering if you could provide an example for each (however, I'm mostly interested in #3 - recent game flow)

1. SPR=1. Pot is no longer small and so keeping it small is irrelevant.
1. SPR=16. Now you have room to make a bet without getting into commitment range and so would be more inclined to bet.
2. See examples for #1.
3. You have been raising and taking down many pots recently. Players are getting sick of you. You should be less inclined to bet a modest hand b/c it is more likely someone will play back at you (with a draw or a made hand) and force you to fold. Of course, if you think they'll pay you off or play back at you with a lot of hands weaker than yours, then you should bet. Give 'em some rope and let them hang themselves.
