Default Re: standard NL line for TPTK

[ QUOTE ]
this sounds like a stupid question, i know, but why 17 or 18bb? instead of either 15bb for 3/4 pot or 20bb for pot-sized?

is this just a discounted pot-sized bet, to help induce a weaker hand calling? or is it just "somewhere between 3/4 and pot-sized, the amount doesn't really matter"?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think a bet of anywhere from 15 to 20 bb is probably fine; my personal preference is to bet a little more than 3/4 of the pot when I have TPTK or better.

There are also times when you'll want to bet more than 20 bb, but that's pretty dependent on your image and your reads.
