Also, on the turn, you’re right about it probably being too big :). But in those cases (obviously dependent on other factors) but best to go smaller to villain to call with their weak holdings and reraise with the strong holdings to let em telegraph their hand.
I used to think this was a pretty unique thing to the poker/gambling world but as I've grown up I've seen people with this exact attitude towards anything that doesn't go their way, from their job advancements to the stock market. Must be a stressful yet oddly reassuring way to live.
This theory extends to how people view random, horrible events like school shootings. There's a twisted logic whereby if you can believe that there was some over-arching plan made by the government it's reassuring that devastating randomness doesn't occur because a plan is something which can be foiled by being savvy enough to fight it.
Love this.
