Stop using the raise pot button in this spot. Open 3-4X (4X is better). As played I'd probably CC turn with the intention of C/F river. These villains tend to not fire the 3rd barrel with their air so C/F river is usually correct imo.

3-4x open from the SB seems a bit too much imo.

potsize open is 3x unless I am being an idiot

anyway 4x is unnecessary, smaller sizing is possibly better in these spots anyway because the average 4nl villain will fold too much

that being said I use 3x usually vs regs, 2.5 or 2 sometimes vs nits or fish

turn I am unsure actually between call, raise or fold. think all options are viable depending on villain

would probably fold as a default in these games and continue with Tx+

Nobody is an idiot for having an opinion TW. Raising smaller with the specific reason of folding out nits is fine (fwiw I never raise small vs fish), but we have 99 here. Other than folding out nits what other benefits does raising small OOP offer? I only see negatives such as playing OOP with high SPR and losing value from strong hands.

It's not an opinion, 3x is a pot-sized raise from the SB.
