So generally the larger the bet size the stronger the hand I like is the rule of thumb. But what does it mean for any given range. Can you fill in the blank?


Say on this hand if you are OT position from cutoff:
If you put in a oversize bet 100-150% of pot?
If you put in a 75% raise?
If you put in a half pot raise?
If you put in a 1/3?
If you put in a 1/4?

And if you check raise?

You can't just bet big with strong hands and certainly not bigger the stronger your hand is. At least not against observant players.

Usually a big bet on especially the river is a polarized bet (you bet big with your strongest hands and balance it with bluffs.

You can then switch certain things around if your opponent don't call or react in a balanced way themselves.

Can't really answer your question as my bet size also depends on who is in the hand and how they play.
