Message: [QUOTE="WVHillbilly, post: 1323427, member: 29447"] Do you always size your postflop bets the way you described in the hand you posted (in multiples of the bb)? If so, you're likely getting sucked out on WAY too often because you're giving your opponent great odds to keep calling. In your example, you min raise the villains flop donk bet. Then when you bet 4bbs on the turn your opponent has to call 4bbs for a chance to win a pot of ~28bbs (+ whatever you'll pay off on the river when he hits). In his mind he could have 5 clean outs on the river (10% chance of winning) and there is a less than 0% chance that his pair of sevens is already good. The key to poker is to cause your opponents to make mistakes. You're not doing that with your bet sizing. [/QUOTE]
