allinbluff35 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 i do that all the time, people also get annoyed when you start raising to 99 at 15/30 blinds or 666 at 100/200. Link to post Share on other sites

"how much you got? 35? Okay, I raise it to 34". Then someone usually comments how evil that move was, I love doing it online, because I always want to see the "chip and a chair" literally happen.

ben_wallace 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Some people raise strange amounts to slow down people calculating pot odds.I often bet odd ammounts for 2 reasons, the pot odds reason and so it is harder to put me on a hand through betting patterns. Instead of betting 400 I'll bet 410 or 425, or I'll think I want to bet somewhere in the ballpark of 1000, so I'll throw out 1120 instead so it seems odd and adds more factors into their thinking, then I try not to bet exactly 1120 again when I'm betting the 1000 ballpark. I also do it for table image, I got idea from a friend of mine in our early home games, when everyone was raising in $1 increments as a joke he would go "I make it $7.75" and people would sit there and go "Why the extra 75 cents?" and it got me thinking while they are thinking about why 75 cents they arent thinking about tells, the signicance of a vitual $8 bet or the strength or weakness, they are thinknig about y an odd number and thinking he is a crazy idiot.
