Aces, help me get max value
 

I'm re-evaluating some of my bet sizing, I think I have let the habit creep in of overbetting pots because I don't want to get drawn out on. Like to hear how others play this!

I raise to 120-150 pf and bet potsized on the flop.

When you think you have the best hand you are always trying to get full value from hands that you beat while not letting them outdraw you. Betting pot here will (hopefully) get action from a K, which you have beat by alot, and make flush draws fold.

bet 180-200 here seem the best solution, don t play too fast although averbetting may be good in a 3$ sit, probably most k call the overbet too. Don't feel like u have lost the possibility to make more money in those spot, i think u have always to bet around 3/4-4/5 the pot.

120 to go preflop. If they'll call 90 they'll call 120 and you want to build a pot here.

As played, I make it like 140-160 to go, no need to overbet the pot here, betting 3/4 pot denies opps the odds to chase a draw (if that's what they have) whilst still giving Kx and even crap like A8 the chance to stay in the pot.

o yea, make 120 preflop

OP, put the BI in the subject next time.

120-135ish pf, especially in a 3.40. Near PSB on the flop
