How To Pick The PERFECT Bet Size In Poker!
Join PokerCoaching.com coach Matt Affleck as he delivers a poker webinar on everything you need to consider when deciding on what bet size to use.
One of the quickiest and most reliable ways to tell the skill level of your opponents is to look at the bet sizes that they choose. Matt believes that bet sizing really distinguishes good regs from bad regs.
Often, our frequency and sizing of our betting strategy can be answered with 2 questions:
1) Who wins the small game?
2) Who wins the big game?
The small game is often dictated by who has the most low equity hands. This is often referred to as 'air' or how often they 'miss'. Small game winners are allowed to bet more frequently for a small sizing to fold out the air of other player.
The big game is often answered by who has the most high equity hands in their range. These high equity hands can often bet large.
It is possible to win both the small and big game. This can lead to a split strategy where both small bets and big bets are used.
Matt discusses different flops and situations at the poker table and how you should deduce your bet size due to both players ranges. Too many players have employed a bet small strategy in every situation which is costing them tonnes of money at the table! Find the flops and situations that you need to use overbets on flops!
Remember that using larger bet sizes helps narrow your opponent's range if they do decide to call. A small bet size asks for a wider range of hands to call.
In general on future streets the caller will often win the small game with the aggressor winning the big game. Find out all about the small and big game and why it is so important in this poker webinar!

On this Poker Coaching channel we cover a weekly poker topic to help improve your poker strategy!
In order to take your poker game to the next level it is vitally important you learn all the nuances of the game.
Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street? What difference does it make if you are playing multi-way vs heads-up?

This is quite confusing, matt affleck suggests, betting small when there is a flush draw/connected cards on flop. However Jon, you suggested to bet big (Pot size)/Overpot when there is a dynamic board. Which is right?

Awesome!
The part about the CO vs BTN reminded me of something I got taught once. The closer to you the other person in the hand is, the more checking we do. The further away they are, the more cbetting we do.
Great content Matt - Would love to see a part 2 especially focusing on turn and river
The amount of knowledge in this video is off the charts. Great job, Matt!
Matt always provides straightforward quality content! 🤝
Matt always gives solid poker education & I'm here to learn. Thanks again from Canberra.
the graphics and the different effects are a nice touch. good video
Great stuff, watching this video was such a +EV decision
This is the best breakdown for bet sizing I've come across. The small game vs. big game, and the balance between the two is a great way to think about bet sizing on all streets.

I'm so glad you think so, Jeff!
I'm a little confused at the Button vs. Big Blind Flop example. Does it say what happened preflop?
Amazing content. Thank you.

Man I am definitely over cbetting OOP vs flats, those ranges are not was wide as I would have thought.
21:47 it's very hard to understand what hands, ranges and bet sizes you're referring to during these with all the clicking around thru screens. Can you pin the hand/table cards somehow moving forward ??
Thanks, Matt
Range is reduced potentially 34:43
Holy shit this some advanced stuff right here. Matt really understands ranges well depending on bet sizes
Matt Affleck is such a good poker coach
I'm more confused now than before I started watching the video.
amazing video, not too easy to understand however once understood very interesting concept

@@PokerCoaching Hello! In this video Matt says that when you have strong pair, you should bet small on flop on boards with a lot of draws so you dont narrow their ranges to combo draws. However in your video "3 MISTAKES to AVOID with Ace King" you say specifically that you should bet BIG on dynamic boards with a lot of draws when you have strong pairs (like AK when flop AJ6 with two spades). Arent you contradicting eachother?
I found one bonus fry in the bag while watching this. Feeling lucky already 😅
I've noticed some somewhat contradictory info here regarding bet sizing on flush draw/connected boards, on multiple occasions throughout your videos I have heard you suggest to bet big on these boards, but Matt seems to suggest the opposite here. Was hoping for a bit of an elaboration if possible. Cheers and thanks for the content!

He likes to give FD and SDs cheap looks at the turn and river for some reason.
why does the bb range not contain any of the higher equity hands like aa, or kk?

This is a single raise pot and AA and KK 3bet so there is no AA KK left.
Johnathan little book says complete opposite on connected boards
@29:30 Matt says the Cut Off wins the big game but then proceeds to demonstrate that the IP player has the strongest range in this scenario. IP player in this instance is the Button, no? Could you please clarify this for me, I believe Matt just mis-spoke but it's confusing me a little bit. Thanks.

Wining the Big Game means that the top portion of your range has an equity advantage over the top portion of your opponents range. Winning the Small Game means that the bottom portion of your range has an equity advantage over the bottom portion of your opponents range. The most common cases are you have the overpairs / top pair better kickers to win the big game. And winning the small game just means you have less air (hands that have almost no equity like under cards with no draws).

Wow this was too deep for me….
Bet small on dynamic boards? This is the opposite of JL says...
In his book completely opposite so confusing
This is just theory, not applicable. This is a solver, nothing to do with humans or their reasoning/ranges. You don't understand this content because it has low to zero value to a pokerplayer. "The opponent" or "villain" are not general at all. Thats why people dont understand this solvercrap. It does not take any note of player styles, leaks, tells, mood, tilt, aggression, ranges etc. I am just happy people are trying to apply this to their game. More money for me. And don't tell its about GTO and then you "exploit". Heard it everywhere but no one knows what they are saying, just rinse and repeat someone elses words.
