I started the hand with $40K, I get ~$5K in pre flop and there is $13K in the middle. Any reasonable C-bet is equal to or greater than 30% of my stack - that’s why. Not that I am saying it is right, but that’s why. My source with that approach is Jonathon Little.
who is Jonathan Little? betting this way makes it impossible for you to have bluffs, therefore you should only get called by better here. Even though we're never folding we might as well give the illusion that we are or else people can play perfectly against us
I didn’t think I was behind when he called; in fact I knew I was ahead because he delayed his call a measurable amount of time. I was just saying the “**** it, I call” scenario usually doesn’t work out for me; or you either I’m guessing. That’s the last thing I want to hear my opponent say – unless maybe he is drunk.
if you don't want him to call when you know he's behind then you're playing the wrong game
I just said I should have 4-bet, not how much. That said, I would have shoved, again, because any 4-bet is greater than 30% of my stack; I can only comfortable go to about $12K; I could have 4-bet to something like $20K, but my opponent has a 2:1 chip lead and I don’t think that’s a good idea; if the wrong flop comes out I’ve turned my hand into a pot committed bluff; I’d just get it in pre.
same as 1st paragraph
