I can't believe all the disdain for building a pot - I dont' build one because it gets them mentally committed though - I do it so that my pot sized bets (when i hit) don't seem unreasonable to players with weak hands who will call me - The only thing I have absolute Disdain for is Min-betting - Pot can be $24 and someone will just press bet for 50c...that I hate - I think building the pot is a good idea -
Noboyd said to raise only premium hands, we said raise all your hands the same, and you should. Who is more readable, somebody that raises AA the same as 87s or someboyd who raises X for AA and Y for 87s? Obviously the answer would be the second player. And the main reason we disagree with the play is because a minbet is not good and is something you should stay away from. You agree with us on that and say you have an absolute disdain for min-betting, that was what most of us pointed out. Read the other posts in this thread.
