Poker Strategy Info And Source:
15 or so years ago small bets were used quite rarely by great poker players. But since then, the usage of small bets has grown as players realized how much expected value they can add to their overall strategy. Using small bets at the right time will allow you to win more pots and put your opponents in tough spots, so this is a vital topic.
Mike Brady and @garyblackwoodpoker cover the factors that should push you towards betting small and cover specific hand examples in this episode of Upswing Poker Level-Up.

@03:54 so connected is different than wet? Can you explain what to do wet vs dry?
Question #1 on the comment if bluffing less when betting small. Are we talking about 33% PSB or 10% PSB? @ 33% PSB they have to defend so wide it is basically an unexploitable bet size. When I look up the MDF for a 33% bet size I have an incredibly hard time finding enough hands to XC with.
So why bluff less when betting small if the opponent has to defend with so much more to the point it is difficult for a human to find these hands as well?
Been playing every day the past 3 weeks. Number of times I’ve seen a button vs bb hand. Zero.
The post oak bluff, a gutless bet if I've ever seen one.
Since when was Stephen Merchant American?
Thank you both for the amazing content! I’ve listened to all of the episodes for at least 3 times. Super helpful for my poker understanding❤
Still curious about topic about betting small on boards that can change dramatically.
For example 679 if we 3B IP (100bb deep), does our range wanna bet small? Does this change OOP vs IP?
Was looking forward to more complicated spots like this
