I think we just lose value w 1/3 pot bet - sure some additional hands call like J9 w backdoor flush draw or something, but we also get less value from 6x/5x a lot of times bc they will fold to turn barrels on a bunch of runouts. Many players play a lot worse vs the larger sizing on volatile textures too....raising way too much for protection w 6x and even 5x sometimes (this is really important imo). Our particular hand benefits from some protection.
Sizing down some w low kickers (if we iso them) seems good to me, but not really sure. Obviously these hands prefer protection more than KT, but at same time we don't want to narrow villains continuation range as much too. If I cbet 1/3 pot w T2o (if I iso it), for example, I'm not 2 barreling this combo on many turns...going into bluffcatcher mode w it in practice a lot I think - villains can continue vs the 1/3 pot bet w a very wide range. Curious what others think.
