    Default Little PL O8b help here

    Should I have won this pot, or was betting bigger on the turn not going to eliminate any chasers. OPinions on all streets please.

    Flop call was looking for overcalls. Bad idea in hindsight. Similar thought on the turn. Knew I was only going, low, wanted to build the pot. Figured i was toast on the river, but not that bad lol.

    Raise the size of the pot. Every time.

    Just calling on the flop was mighty weak, I'd say.

    I agree. After the flop you're in a position where you can try to freeroll to get the whole enchilada. Raise the pot here and try to thin down the field some. The more people you allow to stay in, the less likely you are to have a shot at the high half and the more you flirt with being counterfeit like you were at the river.

    Remember, half pots are nice, but scoops are where you make your money in any high-low game.
