Matt,
in the book you recommend 2/3P as a good default bet size if you're unsure about how much to bet. Thinking about just on the flop, do you like 2/3 pot as an average bet size, or should flop bet sizes tend to be a bit larger than this in typical low stakes online/live conditions?

this primarily depends on how often you bluff vs. bet with a made hand on the flop.
if you bluff a lot, it also depends on whether smaller bets get respect: if they will fold to smaller bets and you bluff a lot (relative to having a made hand) then you'd go for half pot or even less.
if you don't bluff often, you mainly want to get paid off and force others to pay to draw, so you would bet more, 2/3 or higher, sometimes even > pot.
if your opponents are oblivious to your bet sizes, you just do what works in the moment.
