This makes it less likely that other people will call you, isolates on whale in blinds, and we build a pot with a good hand and position. Similarly, if whale opens to 2x then we should 3bet him HARDD to 14x even if that's what he will call.
Yeah, this is something I've noticed and...well frankly havnt spoken much about because I like that most regs suck at stuff like this. People think they're adjusting and exploiting people, but in reality they're using very little imagination and not thinking of the best way to exploit them. Bet Pot buttons are most peoples handicap I think.


Those hands suck. Feels a lot like my night the other day. I gave this one guy 3-4 buyins and he was soo bad. He'd stack me with a gutshot straight v's my 2P then the very next hand give it all to some other guy stacking off with middle pair. Sooo frustrating. Even with all my money he still went busto, everyone else on the table had a great time.
