Default Re: NL50 - boat up on the river - betsizing

I thought about shoving when I saw this hand,

then I realised I almost never shove, I think its a small leak of mine.

Great post matrix and triggerle!

Default Re: NL50 - boat up on the river - betsizing

I like to bet 1/3 of the pot in these situations. Reasons:
(a) If Villain has at least caught a little bit, he might call me because of the pot odds but he might fold to bets that are close to the pot size
(b) Donks like to bluff sometimes and may see my bet as a weak play where I'm not sure what to do. They might reraise me to exploit my weakness.
(c) If Villain has TP or the other T, he might be inclined to reraise my tiny bet.

These tiny little bets work out good for me in the long run. I like to make them as testbets in other situations, too. So even observant opponents have a hard time to figure out wheter this bet is a sign of weakness or incredible strength.
