ive reread the bet sizing part this morning, will cover the rest when i get a chance.
Yeah i think betting for info/RR for info can be overrated probably just b/c ppl dont understand the concept and when to use it (i dont claim to know it fully). Im dont really know too many complex postflop situations where it can help where just value bets or pot control etc are more suitable.
Preflop tho (at 25NL anyway) i think (as Sklanksy noted) its best used and is simply execuated. Say you hold AK or JJ, there is a single PFR before you. you can of course call but a raise will provide better info ocz at these levels opp tend to give alot of respect to the PFRR but will usually rasie again with KK or AA and if they just call the you have gained alot of the upper hand postflop.
another part which raised my eyebrow tho is the part where (with AK) we RR a predictable player. sklansky mentioned almost making a minraise vs opp. granted we gain info on his hand but hwo much of a mistake is it to make a small raise vs opp's possible range (both tight player or looseplayer).
lol make sense?
