The BIG BET Strategy Your Opponents Will HATE | Upswing Poker Level-Up

Poker Strategy Info And Source:

If you are a player who rarely bets big at the poker table, you are leaving a lot of money on the table. Betting big in the right spots allows you to build pots with strong hands when you have them, but it only makes sense to do when the rest of your range can support it.

Mike Brady and Gary Blackwood help you understand exactly when to shovel big bets into the pot in this episode of Upswing Poker Level-Up.

  2. We have covered high paired boards(AAx-JJx) for cbets but can we cover mid to low paired boards? Cheers, I’m finding this super helpful

  5. good video. i do want to comment on the betting w kk for example on 678 board. yes t8 will call you – but thats ok , i dont like to think of it in terms of protecting your hand but charging their draws. they call – THATS GOOD. Youre getting value from draws, Im not a fan of the thought of protecting your hand. its about getting value from draws. if its a bad turn card just fold. Not sure why youd want to check AA honestly heads up as the 3 better on a 678 board against most villians as they will call when drawing and raise when youre beat – and most of the time theyre drawing. I guess i could see pot controlling if your oppnent raises a lot w draws..but thats it. Just because their range is better for a particular board like 678 it doesnt mean they flop a better hand than you most of the time right?

  6. If you're IP on a SRP that comes with AK6 rainbow, you overbet with QJ (bluff) and AK (value), what happens when you have 65s? It's almost a 100% cbet board IP, so if you polarize using an overbet sizing, what sizing do you choose when having nothing? It's not a rhetorical question, I want to understand it.

  8. Point about how we shouldnt bet protection in 3b pots logic was a little suspect. If our opponent calls w hands that "would have called anyway" its still good for us to shovel money in w our value hands if opp is calling w worse. Slightly nuanced but still good points rest of vid

  10. My notes from the c-bet video has you saying:
    Double Broadway Boards: KQ4, AJ6, QT2
    – You can down bet or polarized for 75%

    But you are instead saying that downbetting is "obsolete", at least for Ace double-broadways with a small card? I think I'm missing a nuance.
