Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6404061, member: 397965"] Preflop As Matt-Burns88 say, with only 19BB effective the standard open size is a min-raise, or if you want to get fancy 2,1 or 2,2BB. In this particular configuration I dont think, going to 2,5BB is a significant mistake though. BB will often just call rather than shove on you, and against BTN you are priced in to call with your entire range even after min-raising. So its only really against SB, that a smaller size can save you chips, when you fold to his 3-bet. And with this particular hand you are not folding to 3-bets from either opponent. So this is not really a big deal, but to answer your question your sizing is certainly not to small. Flop I lean towards checking back this flop, because the SPR is very low, and you have a lot of showdown value. It would really suck to get check-jammed on, because you dont want to call it off with A high possibly drawing dead, and you also dont want to fold a hand, which is best a lot of the time. If you bet here, its mainly for protection, and in that case an even smaller size will get the job done. Turn This card was actually not a blank, since J9 made a straight now, and 97 made a pair, and those were OESDs on the flop. I definitely agree with checking back. River You are getting a very good price, but even so hero calling with ace high seem somewhat optimistic. The opponent is a tight player, and this small sizing looks very much like "please give me action". He has less than a pot sized bet left, and if he was bluffing with a busted draw, I am inclined to think, he would just have shipped it. That being said not having a heart in your hand is good, because it gives him more busted flushdraws. And there is certainly nothing wrong with calling, even though you only beat a bluff. In fact that is just good poker, but all in all this call is marginal, and personally I tend to overfold in spots like this. [/QUOTE]
