Live 1/2 FR advice plz - Page 3

I didn't see anyone mention this so I will, I play at the CT casino 1/2s for reference.


People's betsizing is ridiculous. It's basically LHE a lot of the time because people tend to think of bets in absolute terms rather than relative to the pot. I can't count the number of times I see someone open for 10 pre, then bet 10 into 23, then 10 into 43, then 10 more into 63. Needless to say, you almost always get chances to draw at FDs and OESDs and such. No one seems to have any sense of what they're trying to accomplish with their betsizing, nor do they take any interest in what you are trying to accomplish with yours.

Personally, I'm not a great soulreader, sick LAG, or anything like that, but I am extremely profitable live because I understand pot odds/equity/ranges/betsizing and most of the players at my table don't. I really can't emphasize enough that betsizing alone can be a significant enough edge.
