    Knowing why you bet or raise in poker is one of the most fundamental pieces of knowledge that all players must understand. SplitSuit shows you the main reasons for betting or raising, and even discusses the debated "denying villain's equity" reason. Every bet or raise you make should be purposeful, and part of that is knowing exactly what every aggressive action you make is accomplishing.

      Calling is for when it doesn't make sense to fold, but it also doesn't make sense to raise. :P We can call if our odds to draw out are in line with the pot odds. Check out his pot odds video for a more in depth look at the math behind calling.

    Is denying equity the same as betting for protection, new to the game, they sound the same but if its different?, How??

    What about probe bets? Aren't they largely for information?

      Information is a bi-product of a good bet or raise...never the sole (or even majoriety) reason for betting/raising

    Can someone please explain why betting to protect a hand is a bad decision? Is it because of cold calls?

    • @cata9223
      @cata9223 Před 2 lety

      Yeah you’re exactly right people don’t always fold theres a defensive strategy people use in conjunction with pot odds it’s called MDF and refers to calling down light for huge implied odds. Sometimes the call is the strongest and surest way to get value at the table. MDF is best used sparingly as it’s risky and mostly based on player type and frequency and table dementia.
      At high stacks people bet to light so someone will decide to call you down before there even in a hand without you.

    I love your channel, but I don't like the term 'villian' for it is defined as 'a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel' and therefore i like the term opponent better.

      The terms "hero" and "villain" are long-dated in poker hand discussion. The terms have a different connotation in the context of poker jargon :)
