He would demand at least a 35D, maybe even bigger. lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-43316100641696703442017-08-23T15:38:05.023-07:002017-08-23T15:38:05.023-07:00It's not so much "knowing your opponent w...It's not so much "knowing your opponent will overvalue his hand," but thinking that this is where you want to play for stacks. Again, I'm going back to Ed Miller--I'm reading his book "The Course." And it's precisely because pot size dictates bet size on subsequent streets that you want to try and build a pot on the flop. You make a pot-sized bet on the flop and get just one call and all of a sudden the pot is $30, not $20, for your turn bet. <br /><br />Sure, sometimes you slam the flop and get no action. It sucks. But when you do slam the flop, get as much money in as fast and as early as you can.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-14167085100164538092017-08-22T23:05:26.520-07:002017-08-22T23:05:26.520-07:00Thanks, Stan.

I guess I could have looked it up myself but I knew that one of my alert readers would know.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-86269398120907037432017-08-22T23:02:24.662-07:002017-08-22T23:02:24.662-07:00The Dealer is wrong here.

Nothing changes on the new hand (the blinds/button are in the same spot).<br /><br />TDA has a rule for this (35-C):<br /><br />In a misdeal, the re-deal is an exact re-play: the button does not move, no new players are seated, and limits stay the same. Cards are dealt to players on penalty or not at their seats for the original deal (Rule 30), then their hands are killed. The original deal and re-deal count as one hand for a player on penalty, not two.<br /><br />StanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-61963956115097417032017-08-22T21:37:55.425-07:002017-08-22T21:37:55.425-07:00Yeah,perhaps I should have bet a little more, but ...Yeah,perhaps I should have bet a little more, but it was a limped pot. You bet pot in a limped pot you usually don't get a call. I suppose a $7 or $8 bet would have been better. After that, the size of the pot kind of dictated my bets.<br /><br />If I had known my opponent was going to overvalue his hand, I obviously should have bet bigger.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-35211139664663024642017-08-22T19:03:51.566-07:002017-08-22T19:03:51.566-07:00Hey Rob, a question about your bet sizing.

I'm thinking Ed Miller here--that's where you're looking to stack someone--so isn't a pot-sized bet on the flop better?<br /><br />Oh, yeah, the dealer's wrong, I'm pretty sure.
