400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

Villain is littlerock09, relatively unknown, probably taggish and solid if I had to guess. I think he raised in the CO or button in both of the last 2 orbits and took the blinds both times. My image should be taggish as well.

What's my bet here and why?

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

think of what you'd bet with AA, KK, JJ, AK, 23, etc.... and then bet it. They shouldn't be that much different.

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

I think checkraise is better here, it sucks when you bet/call ai against AK/Q

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

Id give up right here. So drawy and such a nice flop to get it in for the villan. Hes not folding, and I dont see what he will fold.

true that he's not folding, i dunno waht he's folding, and i really don't see what he would fold so he's probably not folding

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

lolol

b/c $88 without history. With a c/r seems nice but I don't see unknown b/f too often here cause c/r in 3bet pots looks so bluffy.

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

if you crai here with some of your strong hands i think you can try to do it here to add a bit of balance...otherwise yeah just bet whatever you would with KK or something

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

i c/r ai here often cause i c/f and c/r ai with a huge range in 3bet pots cause im so nifty and cute

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

Checking is clearly the best play, then make your decision based on how much he bets.

Also, can we please stop using terms like "balance" in spots like this? (Scooby)

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

C/r seems really awkward to me. I doubt a thinking TAG would believe me at all.

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

$75 or c/rai.
C/rai would have some FE and might get you the free card if villain checks behind flop.
$75 because it looks fairly strong... if u bet more it would look like you have AK imo.

doesn't matter. he won't call with 33

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

If I'm betting, it's around $85. It will discourage bluff raises more than something like $55-70 and it also leaves you with a perfect amount to shove the turn if you get called and hit.

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

And obviously we have to bet a similar amount with our monsters too.

Thoughts on b/c?

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing

Re: 400NL - Need a little help with betsizing
 

Checkraise and bet/call are both aight. Bet/fold sucks btw.
