Facing Pot Size Bets with Top Pair

[LondonImp]

Thank you both for your feedback

There was an ante in play here mate. It is a small one however, only equivalent to 8% of the big blind.


I am in agreement with you...

[LondonImp]

On a seperate note, I'm not a fan of your flop sizing.

I could well be wrong about this, but shouldn't the 1/4 pot cbet be used we when are...

[LondonImp]

To break even here we need to have 40% equity versus the villain's range, so I'd prefer 42-43% to give us an edge (outside of any ICM considerations)....

[LondonImp]

This is something I could do with doing a bit of work into again. I got HU in an MTT recently and just bottled it, such a waste of an opportunity.

[LondonImp]

This is just a cooler, unlucky.

Maybe on 8d7d6d I could fold bottom set, but here I'm going broke if they have a better set....

I did this document a few weeks ago for the study group. I created a chart for MDF in multi-way pots:

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'll make sure I'm not getting carried away with my river value bets going forwards.

kkep - Yeah I'm aware of this - and I try to go in and amend all my rebuy/add-on MTTs as well as iPoker PKOs as these are normally completely wrong. I...

JL's advice on the river seems surprising. He says something along the lines of "there's...

[LondonImp]

Good luck mate, I'm looking forward to your updates.

How many players cash in total?...

[LondonImp]

Whenever our opponent's raise is >10% of our stack, or our re-raise would be >30% of our stack, all-in is very often the correct size to use....

[LondonImp]

Interesting comments. I find it a lot easier as I'm able to mentally detach from the actual money in play and make decisions based purely on the maths....

[LondonImp]

I think it is a mistake. Your sizing is too small and gives him great odds to call in position.

Also, you might want to rethink your opponents...

When we factor in all the conditions i.e. OOP, SPR of 2, and a dynamic board, I don't think I want a calling range at all.

Our best hands...
