"Explain to me how i can get 100 BB in with 3 PSBs. Let's play a 6-max game:

villian limps ep, Hero pots mp,folds, bb and villian call.

Pot is 14 bb"

Ok, in this instance pot 14; with 97bb left effective stacks; so our spr is 97/14 or 6.9 (as chris said, one prefers either 4 -5 or >13 re; his post)

Also; second pot size bet is 42bb (+ 14 flop bet + 3 preflop); leaving 43bb left to bet on the river; hence your three pot size bets, well last bet is 1/3pot but anyway!

It seems you are confusing pot size bets with FLOP stack to pot ratios; maybe i should have made the flop bit clearer in the original post.

Interestingly if you only have 1 psb on the turn you commit anyway with top set; this isn't about how to play any given situation postflop; its about maximising potential profit at minimum risk - to put it better; its about manipulating the size of the pot on the flop to maximise profits in certain types of situations against certain types of players

I suspect you haven't read the book in question, although i might be wrong

Its good to see the thread get under way though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Chris; could you elaborate on how you drew those conclusions please?

Thanks Guys
