[Closed] Bet sizing

Dunno I don't really do that too much because it consumes too much time to type in the cent-amounts.
However I sometimes bet $9.50 instead of $10.50 because I think it lets opponents lean a little more to calling (and conversely $10.50 instead of $9.50 when I'm bluffing).

Most stores do the same think with their prices and it has been done for ages so I guess there's a reason for it :P.

Btw I'm only doing this if the amount only differs a bit, so (for example) I'd never bet $9.50 instead of let's say $15.
The luring betsize still only increases the call% a little bit, so don't give up too much value.

Btw I never use these default-bet-buttons, but there's no particular reason for that other than I just find it easier to type in the betsizing that I have in mind than calculating how big the bet is compared to the pot and which button approximates it the best.

I normally uses the bnuttons or type the bets that I have in mind corresponding to about 2/3 or 1/2 or pot size anyway. however I have read somewhere that regular player are used to standard bet size and using weird number can some time confuse them. I have never used it or even never really given much thought to it myself.

To further on this point that will probably be denied and thought as ridiculous by a lot of people; I read somewhere in one of TLN's blogs (I think it was his $50000 in a month challenge one), an example of a hand where on the turn the villain was nearly all in but had only 2 or 3BB left on his stack and the pot was huge. on the river the villain made a minimum raise and TLN who I think is a fantastic player thought for a while about folding because the amount bet was strange. He finally called because the pot odds were ridiculous but it does go toward the previous point
