[Closed] Nice numbers?

Sometimes when I want to get a call, I make the numbers nice.

For me, I find raising preflop to 3x instead of 3.5x (pot) usually gets a lot more callers. And postflop, if half pot is 0.28, I usually bet 0.3 as it's a nicer number and gets a lot more calls. If potsize is 0.73, I'd make it 0.7.

To get folds, I pretty much always go potsize. Though I've seen people make the chip stack big (like 0.74 which has a pile of chips instead of 0.75 which is 3 0.25 chips) to get folds.

Does anyone else do this or is it just me?

just you, also i'm pretty sure you have a selective memory. :f_biggrin:


Believe it or not, donks sometimes fall for this, as they only look at the pretty pictures and don't really care about money. It's psychological, the same way salesmen want to sell their goods for 4.99$ or 4.90$ instead of making it 5$ a piece.

(Hope I don't get trolled too much for making this post, ty :P)

Let me put it another way. This is only going to work on people you are going to beat anyway. _biggrin:
