Villian played the flop very poorly. why did he min bet into 120 pot?
just out of curiosity if we r not putting an emphasis on pot odds early on when should we start? when antes kick or when our M is crappy or not at all

odds are important especially in cash/ring games and being well aware of them ..
i tend to dismiss them when i am deep and place more emphasis on playing the players/situations/board texture, if you play everything to the book or how everyone says you should play you wont ever learn to get a bit of creativity in your game...when it is do or die and your chasing ridiculous odds then fold etc etc
If you play someone who strictly sticks to all the rules they are very easy to exploit and take advantage of,they will get to predictable.
What i like about longshanksed play here is the lead on the turn [calling is spewy],it does not effect him much stack/chips wise,he could win with this bet if villain folds , if he is re-raised it is easy to get away from , if called and he bricks out on the river it is a easy check fold , if he hits his miracle card then that 90 chips on the turn has turned out to be worth all of villains stack ;D
calling at wrong odds is bad imo but leading into draws even longshot ones ;D i will never criticize...
Players will find it tough to put you on a hand,if you get caught then when you do have it you"ll get more chance of getting paid off...
i like to see players experiment,it is the best way to learn what works what does not and as long as you review and learn imo you will improve and your knowledge / experiences of different type/style opponents and how to play them will get better.
The key is learn from what works and what does not....know the basics but try to think out of the box..
LongshanksED:
i usually try to play position and stack size in the tourneys/sngs i play in and use pot and implied odds once the flop has came down but if im min raised early in a tourny or cash im gonna call with virtually any hand as no 2 cards are much less than 4/1 underdog - different if we are nearing the end or im nearing my end and a min bet = a good percentage of my stack when im shortstacked - i could look for a better spot cause im not commiting myself with 5-2
again if im on a concealed flush draw even though im 4/1 to hit, the implied odds (if deepstacked) can make a call for a 3/4 pot sized bet a good move
as noble said - the turn bluff was only accounting for less than 10% of my stack and very easy to get away from
