Learning when to bet huge in poker will make drastic improvements to your win rate at the poker tables. Stop leaving money on the tables with your value hands and start bluffing larger to make marginal hands actually fold!
If you limit your biggest bet at the size of the pot, you will be leaving a lot of equity on the table. Remember that you are playing No Limit hold'em which means that there is no limit to the amount that you should bet! That rule is there for a reason!
🔥 #1: Preflop From The Small Blind 🔥
From out of position, you generally want to discourage action. Many players will default to 3-betting to 3x the initial raise. Instead, you should 3-bet to a bit less from in position and a bit more from out of position. As a general rule of thumb:
- Make it 4x when deeper than 50bbs
- Make it 3.5x when between 25bbs and 50bbs
- Make it 3x when shorter than 25bbs
🔥 #2: On J-T-x Flops As The Preflop Aggressor 🔥
You should be betting large and polarized on dynamic boards and make sure you bet large with the nut advantage. When you are short stacked you should use larger bet sizes with strong but vulnerable hands. It is very dynamic on this particular flop: J-T-x. You also will have the nut advantage which allows you to bet huge!
🔥 #3: On The River With A Polarized Range 🔥
Betting large allows you to profitably bluff with more hands. The maximum amount of bluffs you can have converges to 50% (1:1) as your bet size becomes infinite. Remember these rules for when you decide to bluff!
33% Pot Bet = 20% Bluffs
50% Pot Bet = 25% Bluffs
100% Pot Bet = 33% Bluffs
200% Pot Bet = 40% Bluffs
300% Pot Bet = 43% Bluffs
