Short Advice Post Ever

[kurto]

I notice a lot of posts where people don't raise enough. Stuff like-- someone bets .20 into a $1 pot and the hero raises it to .50.

Stop it. I used to have this problem. Figure out what a pot sized bet is (whats already in the pot PLUS how much there will be once you MATCH what's already been bet). This is closer to what a real raise should usually be. For many, it will seem like a really big bet. That's because everyone is so used to underbetting. You're giving your opponents incredible odds to call and draw out on you.

Stop betting 5bb into a 20bb pot. This is NOT a value bet. And it will never make someone fold. And if someone raises you you will never know if its a bluff because you look so damn weak.

so stop it.

that is all.
