Let's say we went to the flop. Damn, no hit. I'm first to act.
I decided to 'steal' the pot, by raising high enough that people fold but not too high so I don't lose too much if somebody got a monster and called.
What is the correct bet?
Usually I bet 3 times the pot, because it lowers the pot odds like a maniac.
Here's example.
Pot: $80
Me : Bet $240
Opponents needs to call $240 to win $320. Pot odds is 1.3:1
The reason I did this is because only straight flush draw has hand equity less than 1.3 :1.
Is this the correct play, in general?
Edit: I was playing SNG one table. So hopefully it can be suited for SNG.
