Poker line construction: does your betting pattern actually matter?
been thinking about this a lot, especially playing online lately. sometimes i feel like the hands where i try to balance my bets and keep my line “standard” end up getting read anyways. is it really about your line being readable, or are most people just paying more attention to their own cards and not the betting pattern? i've run some bluffs and got called down by what seemed like total nonsense, even though my bet sizes made sense. makes me wonder if constructing perfect lines is even worth the effort at small stakes. looking for others' thoughts.
At small stakes, most folks just play their own hand strength and ignore betting patterns, so perfect lines won’t save you from wild calls. I treat balanced lines like checking my volume before pressing play. It’s good habit, but not why most pots are won or lost in online casino rooms.
