The flop creates a $20 pot, with a board of J♠️9♣️2❤️2♦️5❤️.<br /><br /> Let’s look at four different betting scenarios to determine our optimal strategy for making the most money in the hand:<br /><br /> 1.In Scenario #1, Hero bets 33% of the pot on the flop, checks the turn, and bets 66% of the pot on the river. This yields a final pot of $53.80.<br /> 2.Scenario #2 involves a 33% pot bet on the flop, followed by 66% bets on both the turn and river. This results in a final pot size of $125.20.<br /> 3.In Scenario #3, Hero bets 50% on the flop, 66% on the turn, and 66% on the river, leading to a final pot of $169.<br /> 4.Scenario #4 Hero decides to go big and bet 80% pot bets on the flop, turn, and river, resulting in a final pot size of $246.<br /><br /> Comparing the outcomes:<br /><br /> •Scenario #1: +$55<br /> •Scenario #2: +$125<br /> •Scenario #3: +$170<br /> •Scenario #4: +$246<br /><br /> If the villain calling range is nearly inelastic, the probabilities of these scenarios are roughly equal. You will find that the really bad low stakes players don’t think about how big the bet is within reason. They either like their hand and are calling or they aren’t. It’s binary. <br /><br /> Now let’s look at how this affects our bottom line if they don’t always call all bets. <br /><br /> If you compare the first lowest betting strategy with the last highest betting strategy, the latter makes us 4.5 times as much money. So even if our villains only call us down 1/4th of the time we make the same amount as betting small and getting called down 100% of the time. And if they even call us down 1/3 of the time now we are making more money than the smallest bet sizing getting called 100% of the time. <br /><br /> This is most players biggest fear. We don’t want them to fold. But as you can see , even when getting more folds we are still making more money long term.

Some villains just are so tight and all the chips might be too much?<br /><br /><br /> Jason Marsdon<br /> Can you explain effective stack size to me <br /><br /> The lowest stack involved in the hand. If you have $1000 and your opponent has $250 then you are both playing a $250 stack. The other $750 in your stack is irrelevant. <br /><br /> Why does it matter? Hands that need implied odds. Even tho your stack may be huge if theirs is small then there may not being enough to justify implied odds <br /><br /> Preflop raise sizing. If a 3b will be for a large portion of the effective stack then shoving or folding becomes your only options. <br /><br /> John Trefly<br /> Do you have a quick and dirty checklist or sequence to rapidly assess playing styles of your opponents? I have no trouble at all categorizing people I've played with dozens of times, but in a new venue, or facing new players, it would help to have a system.<br /><br /> The easiest and quickest tell on a player is to see one raise offsuit broadways or gappers from EP1 and 2<br /><br /> If I see someone raise QT off utg when the hand goes to showdown, I will now look to 3b them and try to play lots of hands with them heads up. Of course your position to their matters. <br /><br /> The other easy classification is someone who never raises preflop. Ever. You don’t need a label other than bad player. In fact we should start out labeling players and good or bad. That gets us up and running quick. Then over time more specific labels.

If you bet half pot you need them to fold 1/3 of the time. 2/3 pot 40% folds. Full pot 50% folds. Etc. <br /><br /> Cason K<br /> Difference in deep stack and normal <br /><br /> Deep stacked poker played well invokes every aspect of poker. Value, calling odds, bluffs, tons of pressure and most importantly big mistakes that cost big. <br /><br /> If you only have 100bb and make an error for your stack it’s not that catastrophic. But if you are 600bb deep and make the same error it’s a crazy bad error. <br /><br /> Large Pocket pairs go down in value. Hands that can crack big pockets pairs of people who can’t fold go way up in value. <br /><br /> There is far too much involved in good deepstack play for me to cover in a an episode of the podcast <br /><br /> Tyler Westra<br /> Knowing when to call it a day. Run bad etc. minimizing those drawdowns.<br /><br /> You should leave any time you are tilted and making bad decisions. Even if you have only lost one buy in. <br /> I personally have a 3 buy in loss rule. But during bad downswings I may make it two buy ins. I’ll also play shorter sessions. <br /> As soon as you have lost a couple sessions back to back you should be sharing notes on hands with another winning player. The more we lose the worse we play. We need independent eyes to make sure we aren’t now playing bad as well. <br /> Take a break.
