Pot Control Post-Flop Is A Bit Trickier Than You Might Think. Overall, There Are Two Ways To Keep The Pot Small, And Make The Pot Bigger.
When You’re In The Draw, You Often Want To Keep The Pot Small. This Is Especially Straightforward When It Comes To First Acts Such As Blocking Bets (Starting Bets That Are Less Likely Than Opponents To Bet) Or Periodic Checks After The “Thinking” Has Been Made. May Also Cause The Inspector To Cross The Check As Well And Often You Want To Keep The Pot Small While You Have A Top Pair, Even With A Good Kicker.
Did You Know That Most Players Will Lose More Money On TP TK (Ie Top Pair, Top Kicker) Than Any Other Hand (Except Bottom Two) If The Pot Is Too Big? You Will Often Find Yourself Only Having The Second Best Hand. And You Become A Loser
If You Flop The Big Hand You Want Of Course You’ll Want The Pot To Be Bigger. You’ll Need To Figure Out How Much You’ll Go Down If You Want Your Opponent To Call. Usually About 2/3 Or 3/4 Of A Pot During Flop And Turn Should Be Fine.
However, You May Get Greedy And Overbet, Sometimes It Will Work. Please Try To Assess The Situation And Your Opponent Carefully. If You Bet So Much That Your Opponent Folds First, It Is A Mistake.
PAY ATTENTION TO STACK SIZES WITH A FEW SIMPLE PRINCIPLES:
1. Don’t Try To Bluff Small-Stacks. If Your Opponent Is 10 Or Less BB Stacks And Still Calls To See The Flop, He’s Unlikely To Go All-In Unless He Misses Everything And Puts Because. It’s Because It Still Costs Less Than Betting Anyway.
2. Similarly, Be Patient With Big Stacks, They Are Feeling Good About Life UFABET And Are Seeing You As Smaller Than You Should Be Under Other Circumstances.
