what is optimal vs one opponent might be awful vs another.
in general yeah its going to be easier/ideal to have a smaller sizing (granted, you can solve a simplified strat for large sizing and do just fine) so to say that you can NEVER do larger and win isn't true.
as per incentivizing sticky fish to fold.. using MDF as a bench mark, if u bet 1/3 and theyre folding more than 25% of time its instant profit, yes? so even tho it seems like theyre calling a lot.. are they really continuing more than 75% of time vs a 1/3cb? id be surprised if this werent just in your head
that being said, yeah there are opponents that you should adjust sizing on regardless of whether its a dry board or not, just to exploit. but as you move up and vs better opponents, a smaller sizing on a dry board is going to be advantageous in many ways, esp since its easier to memorize small sizing at high frequency.
