1. At small stakes No-limit Holdem the most optimal play is to vary your continuation bet sizes between ¾ of the pot and the full size of the pot.


2. Keep in mind also that 70% of flops are missed by our opponents.

1. Some players prefer a standard sized bet on the flop no matter if the flop hit them or not. Same amount, every time. Very hard to read. Others vary their bet amount depending on the texture of the board. Either works. As does betting less than 3/4ths of the pot. I know from experience.

2. And an unpaired hand will flop at least one pair 32% of the time. If the hand is suited and or connected, it will hit the flop with a draw another 5-15% of the time. So, your 70% figure is a little high.
