Keep branches open
Compare the lower-variance line against the pot-limit pressure line.
Pot-limit bet geometry
See the legal ceiling before you choose the pressure line.
Model pot-limit betting branches with stack depth, to-call amount, likely callers, and hand texture so the max raise, custom bet, and next SPR are visible before the decision.
Interactive tool
Pot-limit bet geometry visualization.
Use the legal max as the boundary, then compare a custom sizing line against call, probe, and max-pressure branches.
Pot-limit geometry
Visualize legal max bets and strategic pressure.
Enter the pot, effective stack, to-call amount, and likely callers to compare pot-limit max sizing, custom sizing, next-street SPR, and practical branch pressure.
Scenario
Pot-limit max: 24bb
A pot-size bet creates pressure without overcommitting the full stack.
Legal max
24bb
Max % pot
100%
Custom leaves
80bb
Next SPR
1.4
Chosen pressure
See whether the chosen bet creates leverage or leaves a playable SPR.
Full leverage
Use the legal ceiling when nut advantage or fold equity supports pressure.
Dynamic guide
Start from the legal max, then decide if the hand benefits from reducing future options or preserving them.
