2 overs + FD in position 3 way

if you raised to an amount that was more appropriate for stack sizes would you expect to take it down a lot less?

With your stack, you raise to 40 and you set up a pot sized turn shove, it's a line much more consistent with a made hand rather than a draw trying to buy odds to get it in imo.

i think i have 50-55% equity on the flop, so i want max FE/getting all in while i have this equity. im not expecting to take it down more with a smaller bet. against a pf cold call and flop cold call im not upset getting it in on the flop given what his line looks like, hence the big raise.

i dont really understand youre buying odds line but im assuming u mean pot sticking myself. but we also pot stick ourself with AK preflop at times too. if i have 50%+ equity i want as much money going in at that point as possible correct?

also if i bet smaller it makes it harder to get it in if he is at the bottom end of his range when i do hit.

im not saying that the bet is ideal on the flop or anything but i dont see anything wrong with it either. id take this exact line with trips as well

You should generally reraise here preflop.

On the flop I prefer a call.

i agree $45 does the same as $60, but since u did make it $60 i think you have to shove the turn even if he folds barely ever its better than having to call on the river when u miss
