value of tptk in relation to pot size

im sure this is posted somewhere else a million times on these forums but I was thinking about hand "values" today, specifically tptk and to a lesser extent overpairs, and how they relate to pot size.


this is prolly ldo to most people but it was a light bulb going off for me on how i play these hands.


the basic premise of my conclusion is:

The value of Tptk is inverse to Pot size i.e. pot size goes up -> tptk value goes down

i include overpairs here but this is true to a lesser extent because of the addition of lesser overpairs in villains range.


this seems like its common sense/really obvious(and can easily shown by putting our opponents on range and stoving it) but the way i play tptk is effected greatly as my goal is to get to showdown with mediumish size pots where before i played tptk like full throttle bet bet bet....then bet bet bet


flame away......
