I’ve read Modern Poker Theory, which already brushes against bet sizing for the flop, turn, and river, but I was wondering if there are any other books out there that analyzes this in greater detail. Recommendations greatly appreciated!
this book is dated but it is one of the best books I have seen specifically on bet sizing. If I remember correctly, Mason gave this book a very high grade (at least an 8 I am quite certain).
Nick Christenson and Russell Fox's:
Winning Strategies for No-Limit Hold'em
I just checked and it is still available on Amazon in both paperback and kindle.
Great book and now that it is mentioned, I should go back and reread and study it.

Thanks for the recommendation! It is quite old and from a time with few small bets and over bets, but it contains thorough info on them?
Could you please share a picture of the table of contents?

Professional no limit holdem by Flynn, Mehta and Miller had a section about SPR (stack to pot ratio)
Hmm, I’ll check it out but I’m not sure that’s exactly what I’m hoping for. Thanks for the recommendation though!
Well, it kind of is, by thinking about how much is left to bet in relation to the pot, then how much of that you want to commit, you can derive a bet sizing plan from there

Yup, using SPR to help determine bet size is definitely a tool, but it’s something I already understand well. Was hoping for something that discussed frequencies, board textures, and villain types, and maybe something else I hadn’t considered, to inform bet sizes.
I haven't read them but I think Play Optimal Poker might get into this more too. A better bet may be some of the online video content (ex. RIO vids, upswing, etc) rather than poker books though as I suspect all but a small handful of poker books will be quite dated and may offer poor strategy advice for the modern game. MPT is definitely an exception but you said you've read that already.
