Why Good Players Don't Bet Big on Wet Boards

When it comes to sizing our bets in poker, a common piece of strategic advice is to bet big on wet boards, and small on dry boards. But did you know that there are plenty of exceptions to this rule? Learn why betting big on wet boards could be costing you money, and why it can sometimes be GTO to overbet on very dry boards.

    Amazing video! I have a question, why on boards like 9s8s7c does the solver start implementing a bigger bet size again? It actually slightly favours 75% and 50% over the small size and bets overpairs using all 3 sizes.

    What are you going to do when the draws all get their but your opponent doesn’t have the draws ands bluffs you on the river? You have to fold because your opponent has many draws in their range, and you lose holding the best hand. If you call, you are giving your opponent excellent odds when he actually had those draws. That’s why you need to bet big enough to make it not worth his while to call with draws.

    If you study solvers you know you don't cbet big OTF when there are a lot of equity changing turns.

    GTO bets bigger when the situation is more defined and smaller when it's uncertain

    Hi Qing! Love these type of videos but would like to hear some thoughts regarding adjustments in these spots based on population tendencies. For example on the 754ss we see that solver leads a ton from BB which also affect our strategy IP right? If this would not happen, or not happen to that extent, how would we respond IP? Also, let's assume on some of the lower stakes people would not find folds with 2nd and 3rd pair as often a bigger sizing would make sense? But I guess that might a bit too self explanatory :D

    Hey Giraffe , I have another question. What if our opponent doesnt know they should fold pairs to a pot sized bet. Should we use the pot size bet with out overpairs now?

    Compared with btn vs bb 732r, the lj vs bb 732r is almost 33% range flop cbet. Is it because the bb has much more trash when vs lj and thus must overfold vs small bet? (I notice the trend for 732r is: the earlier position the raiser raise, the more the strategy towards 33% range cbet)

    I often hear "when deciding how much to bet always think what your top value wants to do"

    Ah, so the fallacy is 'targeting' draws in villain's range when in reality even on the 'draw-heavy' board, a lot of his range is still marginal made hands, and versus those marginal made hands, our over pairs want to bet smaller because those hands have too much equity for us to be that far ahead when called, so we bet smaller to widen/weaken his calling range.

    Awesome video, ty! The difference you noted between A72 and AK2 was very illuminating for me. No thin value on the latter so we size up
