So I think betting pretty small ott like for 1/4 pot or smth or just checking works pretty well. When u size up like this hands like p10s and what not are just going to be pure folds for the oop player - and then you end up getting x/r by all these sets and two pairs and Some rare 56hh or 5/6s with a bd that gets there ott. Also some slow played kk/aa -
strong analysis but i also want to discuss flop sizing because we are 150bb deep to start the hand:
in general, pio seems to favor the IP player by increasing aggression with the initiative otf as stacks get deeper. intuitively, this makes sense as we need to pile more money in when we’re ahead and we get to attack often-capped ranges.
this board is difficult for pio as J73r is different from Jd 7s 3d for example. in both cases the IP player is allowed to do a lot of betting (at your preferred 30% sizing), but on J73fd the IP player will also have hands that like to bet 66%.
My conclusion from pio is that with a flush draw available to the player in position, we have enough hands to defend potential flop x/r that we can get away with betting 66%. we force a lot of folds when we have flush draws, whereas similar A-high hands often call on the rainbow board at any size (hence 66% not being worth it on that board) or the FD board at 33% size.
this is all to say: i agree with you and in practice i’m betting <1/3 almost always
