Re: 10NLHE - ttp facing all in on turn
Betting small because you do not want him to fold worse hands is bad reasoning.
1) If you bet 0.80 cents here on the flop he only half to call half as often as he has to call your 0.40 bet to have the same EV.
2) Betting bigger here builds a bigger pot. Since you think you are ahead you want money in the pot. Betting more here, allows you to bet more on the turn.
3) You give him worse odds to call with things like 67 and heart draws. I.e money for you.
4) This bet has little fold equity, so if you do the same thing when you missed the flop, you will not generate enough folds. If you do something different when you miss, you will be easy to read. That is no problem at these stakes, but it is a bad habit if you want to play higher stakes.
