I lose tons of value on hands like this by betting the wrong amounts. Whats a good bet size on this flop?

villain is short so it doesnt really matter. Id prolly bet $13 obv calling a shove. but hes short so it doesnt matter.

14

So we are saying I should bet a little smaller, like less than half of villain's stack to keep him in the pot? Usually in spots like this I blast a little hard with an overpair and get no value.

I bet $18 or so and call a shove.

I think you can bet smaller with the small sidepot there.

Button shouldn't be calling you with much. Get some value from a pp you beat and bet it smallish.

12 would be fine for to make AK wrong to call and still looks "scared" to the right person.

Pushing would be only a slight overbet -- and also a good idea if they can reason you wouldn't push with a good high pp.

[Johnny2Gunnz]

I bet about $15 here, calling a shove.

This looks like the kind of situation where a smaller bet is the best play. I'd probably be looking at about 14 or so.
