Help me, I do not know how to increase the bank of the game.
When I have a premium hand. I try not to put more than a pot on the table. Sometimes I put 1/2. And on the river I very rarely put all-in because I think that my opponent will fold. I think this should be done gradually. Because the opponent will suspect something if I put 100 on the flop, the turn of 350 and 1,700 on the river. As you increase the bank?:confused:

It depends on the type board..

If dry board need bet around 30-40% of the pot , if wet around 70% of the pot or bet pot if muliway spots...

Depends on many things - table dynamics, individual persona, number of opponents entered, texture of the board, his suspected hand, etc.

It is difficult to answer a question like that in general terms. There are many factors that can contribute to the size of your bet.

In the early levels a standard pre-flop bet for me in an unopened pot would probably be about 3 times the big blinds. As the blinds increase I drop it to about 2.5 times the big blind and in the later blinds only around 2 times.

On later streets it is too hard to say without more specific details - could be anywhere from 1/3 of the pot to all in.

Consider what is on the flop first. Consider what position you are in. Consider if he called your raise or you called his raise. Remember, you are not going to win a tournament/ cash table off of ONE hand. Bet when you have to. Don't worry if he's going to fold on the river...you should have that as a goal, not to avoid. Accumulating chips takes a lot of grinding and the right opportunity. Don't be over excited when you have the nuts....look at the position, pot, and what happened during previous hands and what happened on the streets and think! So if you're not too sure when to not bet, just look out for draws and possible hands within his range. But never miss out on an opportunity to bet for value. Just review your hands and see how it could've been better. Just remember those positions and when you're at it again, be more careful this time. Forgetting how you won hands and just remembering how you lost them won't make you a better poker player. You'll just be more scared. So review your hands with friends (recommended). It's just like school. Don't just take the exam without studying, duh :p

I agree with everyone above completely.
Perhaps post a few of the specific hands where you feel you did not get max value?
That will really help to isolate what streets, bet sizing, etc you may be consistently missing some equity on.

Hi Katyuha. I would say as others have said it is difficult question to answer without knowing a bit more information. However, If I have the stone cold nuts and the opponent has followed my bets to the river I would bet about 1/2 the pot on the river and if this amount is more than 1/3 of my stack I would just push all-in. - All that though depends on the opponent, cash game or tournamnt loads of things. GL with it all though. If you post some hands I would be happy to look at them for you and I expect there are far better experienced players than me who would be happy to help. :D:D:D
