Re: Flop bet sizing. I’ve had this incorrect (now noted) thinking that on flops with a a vulnerable made hand, I should bet big to get draws to fold or call at a very expensive price. But it makes sense that draws and mediocre pairs calling a smaller flop bet should be ok by me. And with the possibility of being checkraised on the flop, my flop bet should be smaller.
What if I only had a pot-sized stack left after the flop, would it then make sense to go all-in?

Couple points to clarify...
1. C-bets on monotone flops should be smaller in general, because opponents will tend to over-fold to larger bets on scary boards.
2. It would be different if we flopped TP on a two-tone, somewhat connected flop, something like KQ8tt. There, we can bet KX larger for value and protection. It doesn't make sense to bet large when our hand could already be beat, and our opponents aren't likely to fold a big draw to a single bet.
In this hand, checking back flop is fine, too. But if we c-bet, it should be smaller, just because it is a monotone board.
It wouldn't make sense to go all in with KTo. That hand is to weak to jam for value, and too strong to jam as a bluff. If you're jamming, it should be with the nuts, or a bluff that blocks the nuts and / or some of your opponent's calling range, something like AhKx or AhQx - both block V from having the nut flush and block some of V's better TP combos.
