[ QUOTE ] 4. A thought experiment: suppose you had to play online poker exclusively and the only bet you could make was a fixed percentage of the pot. They offer you a "bet pot" button with no slider to adjust, but you can change "bet pot" to any size. What would you choose? [/ QUOTE ] Could it be different by street? On the flop, I seem to find myself gravitating towards 3/4 pot, and on the later streets 2/3. [/ QUOTE ] heh that'd be an awesome program for someone who 8-tables. descending bets relative to the pot work best when you are betting a lot of made hands relative to bluffs. it's because of flop bet sizing. if bluffing a lot you'd like to make your flop bets smaller. that reduces the cost of bluffing, including the cost of firing a second barrel. if betting made hands a lot you often want the pot bigger (for your big hands) so a bigger flop bet size work well. also when you've got a big hand you usually want your opponents to call, so you sometimes decrement your bet sizes (relative to the pot size) to increase the chances of getting paid off. |
