Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 1220980, member: 26306"] Found this hand. Should I be betting $15 on river because if he calls $12.50 surely he doesn't fold enough to the bigger bet right? ------------------------------------ $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 2 Players [B]Hero (SB): $69.85 (139.7 bb)[/B] [B]BB: $50.30 (100.6 bb)[/B] [B]Pre-Flop[/B]: Hero is SB with Q[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/spade.gif[/IMG] Q[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/diamond.gif[/IMG] [COLOR=#FF0000]Hero raises to $1.50[/COLOR], BB calls $1 [B]Flop[/B]: ($3) 8[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/diamond.gif[/IMG] Q[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/heart.gif[/IMG] J[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/club.gif[/IMG][COLOR=#0000FF] (2 players)[/COLOR] BB checks, [COLOR=#FF0000]Hero bets $2[/COLOR], BB calls $2 [B]Turn[/B]: ($7) 7[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/club.gif[/IMG][COLOR=#0000FF] (2 players)[/COLOR] BB checks, [COLOR=#FF0000]Hero bets $5.50[/COLOR], BB calls $5.50 [B]River[/B]: ($18) 3[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/diamond.gif[/IMG][COLOR=#0000FF] (2 players)[/COLOR] BB checks, [COLOR=#FF0000]Hero bets $12.50[/COLOR] ------------------------------------------------- Something tells me if I posted this hand everyone would be like standard while the only criteria for him needing to bet more is it's all-in. Actually it's the exact same logic as people talking about not wanting to commit themselves. Both logic lines are extremely flawed. If say you're bluffing and $20 is the line for commitment and you think when you raise to 21 they fold a lot more than 19 then you bet 21 and call it off. In fact since 20 is the line the ev in betting 21 and calling off and betting 19 and folding are extremely close people just have a psychological thing about getting their money in bad that wants them to avoid committing themselves to stack with a weak hand. But it's the same thing. Money behind doesn't matter unless it psychologically impacts FE with villain, either making him more likely to call because he'll have money behind or less likely because he thinks you want a call. Again I have no idea why Enty did it but Blanko is basically 100% right. [/QUOTE]
