Several spots yesterday where I want a check on my sizing. Usually I would post these in different posts, but Hands 1 & 2 aren't post worthy imo,


Table Dynamics - fit-or-fold passive 1/3 table - most stacks are around 300-500

Hand 1 - V in MP opens to 10, 2 callers, H in BB 3B to 45 with AhKd - too small?

2 callers (130ish) - Flop is J82r, H bets 50, one caller, h x/f a blank turn - too nitty?

Hand 2 - a few limps, MP raises to 12, a call, H in BB calls with A10cc, overall go 5 ways to a flop

Flop (60ish) - As10d5s - Hx, x, pfr bets 15, one caller in lp, H raises to 60, gets a cold call, pfr tank calls, too small of a xr?


Hand 3 - lp open to 12, H calls in button with 33, ep limp and blind calls - 4 ways to a flop

Flop (48)

Kh8s3h

x,x,x h bets 30, f,f,c

Turn (108)

Kh8s3h6d

x, H bets 80, calls

Kh8s3h6d2h

x, h should?

Hand 1- I would go to 60 or 65 preflop, you can even go 70. 60 absolute minimum though. As played its fine, you should be giving up turn unimproved.

Hand 2 - seems fine, you dont want to go too too big and scare them away. I like your sizing, you could go maybe to 80, but i wouldnt go any bigger than that

Hand 3 - looks good. I would bet river again. Its gonna be very rare for a live low stakes player to do any check raising on the river with value or bluff and this hand is way too good to check back. Dont go too big where you can only get called by flushes. I would go for a 140-180 sizing to get called by Kx.

Hand one, I'd 3B to $60 pre. The widely approved formula is 3x the raise, plus 1X for each caller, plus 1X more if we're out of position. I tend to just start at 4X as a baseline in lower stakes games, to drive down the SPR and discourage loose calls.

On flop, OOP and multi-way, I just start with a check to see what my opponents do. We can check call, check raise, or make a delayed c-bet on turn.

Hand two, I probably 3B pre, probably $65-$75. Sizing will vary based on table dynamics. More if a lot of hands are going multi-way, less if people are over-folding to 3B's.

I like the check raise, but it should be bigger, at least $75, if not $90.

Hand 3 sizing looks okay, depending on stack sizes. Could go a little bigger on flop and turn if we want to jam river.

AP, with the bet sizing you took, he shouldn't be chasing draws. He's probably got something like KQ. I'd bet like 2/3 pot, depending on stack depth. Might be a jam sometimes if the stacks are short enough.

H1: At least $50 pre, but probably $60+ since you are OOP. I'd rather check the flop than bet so small. Turn is meh -- I wouldn't be here this way.

H2: I might donk depending on opponents, but this is played fine.

H3: Played fine. Personally, I check back because I can't imagine what worse is calling, but kind of depends on V.

HH1:

This is why I like purposely sitting on a small $200 stack, in that we can 3bet to a size that leaves a PSB shove on any flop, putting pears to the test and meanwhile giving ourselves ok odds to realize our equity if called.

As played, 3ways I probably just give up on the flop.


HH2:

I'm fine with preflop since I expect the multiway result to this sizing with this many limpers. I probably donk the flop targetting Ax / draws. As played I probably check/raise larger to really charge draws / setup turn shove.


HH3:

Being the first preflop caller is a little meh, but to this reasonable sizing on the Button with hopefully at least one or two others coming along, prolly not horrible. I'm fine with postflop. River depends on stacks left / potsize as to sizing, whether we have room for bet/fold, etc. A little concerning that the only draw got there and Kx would mostly lead the flop. If he's a clueless calling station then likely a very small bet to target underpairs, but against more cluefull opponents (and especially if we have a nitty image) perhaps a checkback could be considered.

Hand 1 - PF I make it 71, as played I’d bet turn.

Hand 2 - I would 3 bet to 60 pre. As played I would CR to 75-80

Hand 3 - I’d bet flop smaller and overbet the turn.

As played until the river I'd bet around half pot.

h1 3b bigger and check the flop with 100% of your range vs 2 opps OOP.
