QOTD - bet sizing

Sky_Poker

Let's say you are playing a cash hand against a player you tend to think calls too much and is not that agressive. You get to the river heads-up in the hand against them.

You are first to act. You have the nuts and you think its probable but not certain they will call a bet but how much do you bet? Let's assume the bigger the bet the less likely they are to call.

How much would you make it?

So let's assume:
- Blinds are 25p/50p
- There's £50 in the middle on the river
- You have £100 behind and your opponent has £60

i would probably put £30-35 in and hope for the call with the pot being at 50 i would hope that would at least get a call and maybe even a reraise if the opponent thinks you have missed your hand

He's got £60 behind, if he's calling £30.00 he's calling £60, jam it all in his eye!

People never believe an overbet.

Get it in!

All-in, no brainer. Looks more like a bluff, and if he's gonna call say £40 he's gonna call £60 too.
