24 -> 68 -> shove

exactly, i think its important to note that flop and turn bets should be sized a little larger so that river is an easier/more natural looking shove.
this isnt discussed a whole lot but its something that i see lots of people not pay attention to. pot size manipulation is soooo important

Does anyone have any articles on pot size manipulation?

This isnt about the river bet. This is ALL about the flop bet.

If you bet 27 into 32 and are called the pot (27+27+32) = 86.

If you then bet 80 on the turn and are called the pot grows to (80+80+86) 246.

Hero now has (329 - 15 - 27 - 86) 201 left.
Villian has about 194 left. Now you can happily shove because your not even betting the pot, and you are actually ofering the villian more of a reason to call.
