Over my time in playing poker I have noticed a couple of trends in betting with made hands. For example, You flop a set and by the river you are fairly certain your set is good, but also fairly sure your opponent has a good enough hand to call you down. I notice some players at this point will make a smaller value bet trying to get the most from what you calculate your opponent will call. Other times I see players go all in, they don't get called as much but when they do they make quite a bit more. Phil Ivey is a professional that comes to mind that I have seen employ the all in tactic.
My question is this, in the long hall which method proves more profitable? The smaller more likely to be called value bets, or the huge occasionally called all in bets? Any math players in here care to explain the math on this?
