I think the bet sizing choices are poor- you’re basically manipulating his range to be strong by the turn bet.

I prefer either a small bet big bet strategy or a small bet small bet strategy.

From an exploitative point of view, betting this big basically just screams out that you have KK-AA so if someone raises you whilst you’re on this line, you’re likely beat

Thanks Andy - in that case would I be better going with 1/3 -1/2 pot and a bigger bet OTR if I think I’m still ahead (ie no raise OTT)?

cbet sizing is way too big... wanna go smaller on dry boards.

use smaller sizing in general.. w/ that sizing u are screwed vs c/r...
if used smaller sizing, turn plays better as a b/c and revaluating river.

If you take the smaller sizing line, sure you can bet bigger on the river.

I probably wouldn’t go any bigger than 3/4 pot on this texture/ line OTR though.

We mostly just value own ourselves when we shove turn.

I'm fine with the flop sizing, although I would do something like 2/3 PSB - 3/4 PSB myself. This board is great for villains' ranges vs. ours, so we should be checking a substantial portion of our range and go larger when we do bet.

Kinda just want to check back turn to be honest. Does SB call three streets with 99-88?
