Underbet -> Spaz Out
I get a lot of questions/comments about my underbetting, which is understandable since it’s one of the more non-standard plays in my arsenal. I think this hand illustrates one of the many advantages of such a play, which is inducing spazziness from hands that otherwise wouldn’t give you action.
Villain is extremely aggressive, and up to this point I’d been letting him push me off of a lot of small pots:
