i wouldnt bet the pot on the
flop or on the
turn, i like to bet about 2/3 the pot with a
top pair hand. It should be enough to take down the pot when someone has nothing, enough to entice a
raise when someone is better, and cheap enough to let the bad players
chase. 1/2 to 2/3 on the
turn if you were called and you should know where you are for the
river. If you bet the pot then the pot you are playing much too large for just
TPTK if the pots 4 dollars preflop, then you bet 4 on the
flop, thats a 12 dollar bet on the
turn. Much rather bet 3 on the
flop, 7 on the
turn, and a
value bet on the
river or a
check behind.
remember even though you have a vulnerable hand you still probably have the best hand, dont let those people that made a mistake preflop by playing their
suited 2 gappers that caught an
OESD or a
flush draw off the hook. They owe you money if you bet the pot its far too easy for them to make the right decision and
fold. You get paid when they make mistakes, give them a good price to
chase just make sure its the wrong price.
