How much to put in with good hands?

1. 40
2. 100
3. 30

5. 60

All numbers can be doubled or halved depending on the opponent.

300 BB, not that I ever have that much in front of me.

I really like your new strategy of putting in up to 70 bb but saving the last 30 when u just know they have a better flush or whatever. A whole stack is just a little too much. I'm going to go with a 71 bb rule in case someone minbets the river.

Clearly I'm not looking for hard and fast numbers that you absolutely always stick to. But let's say you CR someone a good amount (~30 BB, enough to get away from) with these hands and they come back over the top. Or they call, blank comes out on the turn, and they massively bet into you again and you haven't improved. Go broke with all? Lay down most? In the past 6 months, I've been in very similar spots about 50 times and wasn't up against something bigger three times, when the opponent was anxious to put some chips in the pot. I'm sure that's some crappy luck, but I'm wondering if it's more correct to try and get away from these hands or practice serious pot control when you sense strength and you have these types of hands.

you clearly don't play HS, or even MS

1. You have T8s and flop a flush. (150/70)
2. You have bottom set on a board like K93 rainbow. (150/70)
3. You have middle set on a board like 678 with 2 spades. (150/70)
4. You have 87 and the flop is 9TJ rainbow. (100/50)
5. You have JT and the flop is JT4 with 2 spades. (100/70)

I've played Texas Hold'em for over 30 years and I can tell you quite truthfully that these boards are traps.

With two pair I would play it strong on the flop and bet the whole pot. I know then that if a truly top player, like Little Red Ashey or John Bonetti comes over the top of me then he has no less than a set.

Same goes with a hand like Ace King suited on a board of Ace King King. I will bet it one time but if i am raised i am done with the hand simple as that.
