Please, please only vote if you are both 1) and 2):
1) Decisively either a pot-pot-pot bettor (keeps betting standard bet amount until convinced you're beat) or a slow down when encountering resistance (pot control) type. You are not somewhere in the middle or not sure which is preferable.
2) Have at least 25,000 Pokertracker hands
PTBB= 2 Big Blinds
this poll sucks
lots of things are wrong with poll
25k hands doesnt mean anything
the winrate used is too high for 400nl+
just because people dont bet the pot over and over doesnt mean they are good at pot control
betting pot usually sux IMO
Well I'm getting few enough responses as is so I have to make a compromise somewhere between accuracy and sufficient sample size and 25k is reasonableQuote:

that's why I said I'm not referring strictly to the behavior of full pot bets but the intended philosophy of not stopping making standard bets until one is convinced they are beat. I'm referring to crystallized opposing general philosophies. The 25k hand limit should leave only people who understand what I'm talking about.
Interesting. Why? And what is your substitute?Quote:

I think pot sized bets win you less and lose you more. You invest too much before realizing you are beat. 3/4 pot will usually accomplish the same thing - making your opponents call against their odds while displaying strength.
