Re: quick bet sizing checkup
The people who take one off with an underpair tend to do so regardless of the betsize, which is why I like to make a bigger bet.
Also, because my 3-bet range is rather small, I like to make good stabs with AK/AJ here. A side-effect is that the bot gets bloated more which makes my bet-check-bet or bet-c/r line more likely, and thus I often get to see a free card. |

Re: quick bet sizing checkup
another thing to consider is hero's/my 3betting range.
consider: 1. a wide range -- something like AQ+, every pocket pair, random suited cards and junk sometimes, etc. 2. the ranger of a tighter 3bettor -- AQ+, JJ+ or something |

Re: quick bet sizing checkup
Fwiw I usually raise a bit smaller preflop and c-bet a bit bigger. About the same amount with all hands. I might change this depending on reads but in this case you have none.
If you were deeper, raising big preflop but leading the flop pretty small on a dry board would make more sense (like you did in this hand). |

Re: quick bet sizing checkup
your 3bet size is a little bit large but you are out of position so depending on your hand its not a bad idea so as to increase your chance of taking the pot down immediately. Also i like a bigger 3bet with 66-JJ for the reason above as well as if you flop your set the pot is set up to be that much bigger. I like a standard 3-3.5x 3bet with QQ+ and AK, so the pot is slightly smaller and your hand is likely best so you are happier to have villain call against that range.
i think the smaller flop bet is likely to encourage villain to continue with any semblance of a hand, so i think that bet size is dependent upon your holding at the time. i think i am more likely to make a bigger cbet (2/3-3/4) with air and overpairs, top pairs. |
