RE: Introductory Post and AMA (Ask Me Anything) about being a Professional Poker and Daily Fantasy Sports Player
Alright here's a strategy question for you. What do you think of using a min-bet sizing in range of different heads up spots where you are oop or even ip on the river? My idea is that it should be used to exploit passive players as a first motive but I feel like it gets trickier incorporating it against more aggressive players. I understand the theory behind gto being you should always choose the action with the most ev but I kind of find it hard in practice to calculate the ev of min betting vs other actions.
EDIT: also for context I have read advanced heads up no limit holdem volume 1, understood some of the ideas, got the gist of some of the other complex ones but can't say I really fully understood them.
Not a fan of it on the river. It's difficult to balance multiple betsizes, and having one of those betsizes as minimum on the river is not a great idea. It's a better idea on the turn to occasionally have small bets OOP to "set the price" yourself, rather than c/c a larger bet.
I would concentrate on having the proper ranges in standard betsizes first then start working with having multiple betsizes and trying to balance those ranges. It's usually pretty easy to exploit weak players with different strategies, but I wouldn't incorporate the min river bet. Small river bets are often necessary though, especially in spots where your range is incredibly strong and it's obvious.
