Sweet. I got mentioned in a thread. But yes...tis true, overbetting the pot is not something I generally think about...but something that CAN work to create a big pot (especially if you feel that they hit a hand capable of calling a large bet). |
I think lots of villains who call think it's a bluff, so you'll see a bunch of medium-strength hands here. Don't try to estimate "what they're capable of" calling - you're gonna be surprised what garbage looks up your big river bets and your psb 3-barrels.

Bold part VERY true.
