IMHO . . . If we uNL players were more wiling to take an extra second and look at the size of the stacks in the hand, the decisions to be made become much less difficult. Doing this one thing helped me up my winrate more that anything else at these levels. It also helps slow things down enough for you to actually think, and not react.

"I have a OESFD- MUST PUSH!!!" used to be a typical thought process for me. When I take the extra sec to look at his stack it helps me internalize what really needs to happen. You may say, but what does this have to do with the pot size discussion? For me it is the pot size discussion.

I suck at poker (meaning I have a modest winrate), but I believe understanding big pot vs small pot will make just about anybody a +EV uNL player.

I guess my point is that this chapter should not and cannot be over-looked. Everything else I have learned since this has built on this.

Just my .5 cents. . .
