at what percentages do you have your customised bet slider options and why?
and in what situations do you use each?

example: draws i use 33%, if i want calls i use..... and so fourth.

i have mine at 33% , 60% and 100%, but in all honesty, i couldnt answer why i have customised them that way so i would like some help from anyone who actually has a reason for having customised those numbers. and how they help you in your game?

in Carbon Poker do they even have bet slider options?

I cant seem to find them if they do, it's just convenient to have those options available, I don't think it helps my game one way or the other, it's just quicker for me to place the size of the bet I want rather then trying to type a value in the box.

35, 55 & 70. No particular reason.

Vinyl, don't be consistent with your betting patterns, opponents will pick up on that.

^This. Mine are at 50% 66% and 75%. I use the mouse wheel to make smaller bets by # of small blinds.

yea blob its on stars man. when your playing cash its not easy to type them in esp if your multitabling or zooming. i am trying to get a better feel of the custom bets cause i dont wanna be overbetting and bleeding chips if i could get the same result for less.( bluffing for example or pot controlling when drawing)

Preflop I make standard bets of 3x+1 for every limper. Post flop im betting an amount I feel will get called for value, which varies greatly depending on the range I put my opponent on, draws on the board, how many are in the hand, effective stack sizes, and so on.

Well I play 8 tables and I type em in. Plenty of time usually seeing as you're folding 80% of your hands and 6 out of 8 tables are dead waiting for the next hand. And yeah if im drawing, i wanna do it for as little as possible unless I have tons of outs and wanna build a pot. For instance, I have 4 to a flush with an OESD then I wanna build the pot, draw or not. And as for bluffing, I don't do it ever. But im at the micros. Depending what level you play on, that changes. But I would still rather only put in enough that I can still get away from it if I need to, while still getting the same effect.

Don't really know what I've got mine set to - I do all my betting with the number pad, only use the mouse for call/fold/all in.

There's no point. If the guys got a pair of 4's on an AK3 board he'll snap call because he has a back door straight draw lol. If I don't have it, no need to be there. I wanna be in the hands that I can play for value and with a grin on my face. Not the ones where I am shaking from fear haha.

The standard raise for tourneys when the blinds get realtively large is 2.1 - 2.5 times the BB. Just go for 2.15. i think thats the best raise pre for tourneys.

yea you can scrap the 2 on the default for sure, since it defaults to a minraise with no clicking anyway.

Mine are 2 2.5 and 3.5 preflop
And 36 52 78 postflop.....however since I'm typing random numbers most times I don't use them too often....it's definitely a great feature if you multi-tabling
