Default Re: Some basics about 2nd barrels and sizing c-bets

I like your second example. It was something I was thinking about the other day.

I call AJs from a MP raise from a lag. flop was J74r.

I decided to lead and call any raise. i felt that there was a very high % that the lag would raise my donk.

given that i think he raises my donk 80+%, i was thinking about the right bet sizing- if i know he'll raise me and my intention is to never fold the flop, should i donk higher in order for him to raise a larger amount, thus building the pot larger?

typically, i bet a bit smaller than most 2p2ers on certain types of flops. on drier boards, i would 1/2 pot alot. i know that many tag players frown down upon this and it is definitely not a popular concept in ssnl. however, it has worked well for me and i think can induce some nice action from overly aggro tags.
