Okay here it is again in plain english.

It's a .5/.10NL game.

WHenever I am on a draw in .5/.10NL game, I am almost NEVER given enough pot odds to try and hit my draw because the bets are so small .10 or .25. It just never happens so the only profitable hands are made hands on the flop or pocket pairs.

Is this normal in a small money game? or should I stick to continue betting out if I was the leader and re-raising to continue being the leader on the draw's? I wouldn't re-raise and try to be the leader on shit hands though obviously.

so basically, the calls and raises are VERY small in these games and I never get to draw out a hand.

Thank you to those who answered already

WTF? Wouldn't small bets make your pot odds better?

i still dont really get what ur trying to ask or say..


"or should I stick to continue betting out if I was the leader and re-raising to continue being the leader on the draw's? "

do u mean if u had AK and u raise preflop, get a few callers.. and the flop comes Q 10 5.. should u continue betting out with just the gutshot straight draw and 2 possible live outs?

In NL, don't forget to include implied odds in your calcualations as well. You can sometimes justify a call with less-than optimal pot odds if you think you can win some bigger bets on later streets.

I agree with Bonch, though. The small bets would make it EASIER to get odds to chase, unless you're saying that everyone limps PF and then overbets the pot on the flop.
