PNL Study Group Day 5: Pot Control

[Dismas]

[ QUOTE ]
Pot control gets to the heart of planning hands. What pot size will work best for your hand? How can you make the pot that size?

For example, when should you try to keep the pot small, even if you likely have the best hand?

Answer: when the next bet threatens an all-in, and your hand may be best against opponents current range but not against his all-in range.

Shouldn’t you’re answer also include the likelihood of you folding the best hand? The smaller the pot the less of a disaster of folding the best hand would be… So in essence the harder the hand is to play the smaller you should try and keep the pot.
