i do agree with the guy above me for ring games as far as always betting the same especially preflop in ring games giving a guy no idea if u have AA or 44 is huge and paysoff when you start hitting some sets/ As far as how I bet in tourneys I dont usually bet because I want a call most of the time I am betting to say hey I have best hand (whether I do or not) and I would like you to fold or call and pay me off./ Preflop is the only time I want a call on a big raise but if I am really strong I only want one call. However after the flop if I remain the best hand especially an overwhelming favorite you likely wont see me bet its all about checking and letting your opponent hang himself, occasionally this backfires and I get drawn out on, but in the long run I win way bigger pots and as long as I know when I am beat I can laydown hands and it works. If I do bet after the flop I pretty much would like to take the pot down now, only in situations with drastically slow tables or a bunch of calling stations do i want to bet just to get called, of course thats different in heads up where u do have to initiate alot of the betting. anyways theres my rambling thoughts on betting.
