Matt Matros talks about betting your hand for value on the river in the issue of Card Player magazine shown above:
It's very tempting in the heat of the battle, to say "The pot's big enough, I check." (In fact, I literally hear amateurs saying this all the time.) But missing out on value-bets is a massive leak, and it's often the last leak that otherwise solid players have to fix before they rise (to the next level).
Do you find a lot of useful tips from these magazines? I'm still trying to figure out Rueful Rabbit...
ReplyDeleteI know its a leak I have......Tough to fix.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound like me -- I want it all!
ReplyDeleteMore often than not, I have more trouble deciding between placing a value bet (and the amount that will elicit a call) and overbetting for value -- and maybe scooping a tremendous pot.
Hi MOJO! In re your comment on Ocala DP, I believe it is a reworked 1958 Chevy Impala...the grill is different, though.
ReplyDeleteThis is a part of my live game that I am working to improve, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, the aggressive will get all the money in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI find Hoyt curiously sexy, don't you?
Thanks to all who left comments.
ReplyDelete@Jacob: Card Player is very useful. Some of the others, um, not so much, actually.
@Woylnski: Hoyt sexy? Um, not so much, actually.
