Spoiler:
Villain: Unknown
Flop: I think my bet sizing is too small here. I think I should bet at least 75% of the pot, since it is wet board (wet board- big c-bet. dry board- small c-bet).
River: Although pot is committed, 9 of heart is worst card so I just fold.
* I think I can pot bet both on the flop and turn.
I want to talk about bet sizing in this hand. The poker book Apps by Matt Janda says "A descending bet sizing structure is effective when we likely have the best hand and do not want to cheaply give our opponent additional cards."
Since it is 3bp, it is hard to apply that theory but can apply at single raised pot. Lets say that I open KK at button and BB calls and same board. Do I need to big bet otf and smaller bet ott and otr? Maybe 75% of pot bet otf and 50% ott and 40% otr if blank card comes on the river.
Is that how to play against draw? (especially flush draw)
