| A Tip for Chip Wasters Here's a tip for those who are [rudely in my opinion] referred to as "Donks": Instead of going all-in .... try betting the pot amount instead. This will often bring you success at taking the pot and leave you chips to play with should you not succeed. Try it. |

| Whenever someone over bets the pot on me it usually means they have the nuts or are bluffing...which prompts me to pause and read my opponent more carefully than usual. I almost always have the correct read. I suppose the extremes are easy to tell. Betting less than the pot is less conspicuous. |

| Good tip. Often I've been blasted out of tournaments with a big pair on an all low flop because the opponent has mistaken my all-in as weakness rather than absolute strength, and then lucks out on me on the turn or river. I think 3/4 or pot bets are the way to go on dry boards. Basically, with a pot bet you are saying I'm strong and it's going to cost you to call rather than with an all-in which can mean a variety of things. |

| Not sure whether you are talking about bluffing or playing with a hand you believe to be in the lead. For example, if you are referring to a situation when you have an over pair to the board, then you don't even need to bet the pot to get the information that you need. A flat call is either a draw or a set or better. If the miss they will fold to most any size bet from 1/2 to 3/4 the pot. |

Some watch too much heavily edited TV poker and are under the mistaken impression that winners play that way all the time. It's a fun way to play, if you don't mind losing your shirt. Also, it's a good way to play premium hands if you are an amateur and are at a huge disadvantage playing a post-flop game against better players. |

| I agree with an all in bet with an over pair. i even noticed that some players have a problem getting rid of a flopped flush draw for any price. so against those players i will shove even with top pair, if i think they would pay with just the draw. 2 out of 3 times i will double up trough them... |

| Well, the pot size bet does look less conspicious sometimes depending on how u read your opponent. I find it when he does that everytime its a little harder to read him because he is predictable especially in the early stages of a tournament. You almost have to assume he is bluffing half the time depending on how many hands they play each round of bbs. So yes in my opinion it is an effective tool to use when you have that tight image at the table. At the same time though i often use the allin bet when im a little behind especially in the late stages of a tournament taking down those blinds. It is although a little suspiscious looking so you better have a little something atleast obviously depending on how many players left at the table or you really got that tight image still going for you Anyways yes the potsized bet i think would be preffered but you will never get that threw to your average bad player. I think they just have to play and learn for themselves if they want to be descent enough. |

| if i've seen sumone call a few all-in's b4 then i'll b using my all-in against this guy with Tp, 2P, set's and semi-bluffs. I understand what u mean to keep ur self a bit safer but to put sum1's tourney life online then it's a more usefull tool. |

Of course many situations call for a shove but one has to know which ones... a little knowledge (emulating TV tourney poker and its dramatic shoves, final table fireworks etc.) can do a lot of damage to yr game... Last edited by Makwa : 28th August 2009 at 8:00 PM. |
