Q3 - I bet all day on 6th. You need to bet for value. You say 1bb can be a huuge difference. Well if you win (which you are a favorite to do) you will be getting an extra bb as well.

I do agree with you, except I lost this hand, and afterwards I wanted one more bb [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] The thing is, say I have 6bb, and by the time I get to 6th, I've put in 3bb. If he improves on 7th he will almost certainly bet, and I will have to call. I can't bet 7th, though, I don't think.
So.
When I bet 5th: I make +4bb => 10bb when I win, I lose 5bb => 1bb when I lose.
When I don't bet 5th: I make +3bb = 9bb when I win, I lose 4bb => 2bb when I lose
So the difference when I win or lose is only 1bb. But when I lose, that difference is 100% of my stack size, and when I win, 11% of my stack size.

The more bb I start with, the clearer a bet on 6th is. Or maybe I'm wrong and you should put your last dollar in on 6th no matter what.
