    Default Check my Bet.

    I just noticed that this cbet brings the total portion of my stack put in to the pot at about 1/4th. Is there something wrong with my betsizing, or is this standard? I just realized what proportion I put in here, and was kind of suprised.


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($24.75)
    BB ($39.25)
    UTG ($50.80)
    MP ($15.20)
    CO ($18.45)
    Button ($21.20)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K.
    UTG calls $0.25, 3 folds, Hero raises to $1.75, BB calls $1.50, UTG calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($5.25) 7, T, 6 (3 players)
    Hero bets $4, BB folds, UTG calls $4.

    Turn: ($13.25) 5 (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $9, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $22.25

    Start checking these flops, especially when facing two opponents. At 25nl, its -EV to bluff at flops with two or more players in most cases.

    If this flop were Q44 rainbow, then you can bet into two players. Do a search on FTR for "continuation bets" and see a bunch of intellectually stimulating threads on this trite topic.

    7xbb is a pretty big raise p/f. 5x is fine w/an UTG limper (4x + 1 for the limper). Those extra 2BB bloat the pot by $1.50 here.
