I like this so much that I +Repped you for it, but that said, I disagree with one part of it. See bold above.
If you want to say bet/raise on the flop and on the turn, I'm ok with that (even though I still think there are plenty of times when you can't three bet someone, but shouldn't fold just because they raised you), but there are DEFINITELY times on the river where you should be calling. In fact, I'd say MOST of the time on the river, you should be calling instead of raising when you have a hand... |

thanks for the love....
I concede that on the river, when facing a bet, you should either fold or call, but only ever raise when you have the nuts. But the river only. Whatever value you lose by folding instead of calling on the other streets is negligible when compared to value you gain by learning discipline and poker concepts that bet/fold postflop poker teaches.

That's a good point.
And I'm not advocating only raising on the river with the nuts... there are lots of times when you should raise - FH with a flush on board, when you fell into a backdoor flush and you think opponent has a strong enough hand to call, etc, etc... But MOIST of the time, you're probably going to be calling. Also, it's often much better to check/call on the river than to bet/?, especially when you have a medium strength hand and you think your opponent whiffed a draw. It gives him a chance to bluff. |

hey, thanks everyone for the help. Especially the excel chart.
I find that 35cents seems much more when you start with a $0 bankroll, and you realize it took you 1 year to reach the $25 mark. But yeah, thanks again!
