I have a very hard time with the "stab at the pot" theory in which betting a "portion" of the pot is considered correct.

Simple fact of the matter is, Doyle himself thinks that betting some portion of the pot is a "post oak bluff" and instead just make it easy and bet the size of the pot. Only the strongest draws are getting odds, and that's the name of this game right? Making your opponents pay more than it's worth to draw out on you?

I agree with Doyle here, post oak bluffs are weak. If I'm post oaking it, I'm trying to induce a re-raise so I can stack my opponent.
