[Closed] NL2: KK bet sizing on flop

Generally on monotone boards players play very straight-forwardly. They also under-rep their top pairs so you have a bunch of FE when showing strength. On this board particularly there's high-end straight draws, flush draws, possible sets, etc. So you're going to get called a lot regardless of 3/4 or pot bets (when betting for value). At 2NL I wouldn't worry about bet sizing so much, just because no one really takes pot odds seriously.

If you didn't have the second nut flushdraw, I would advise betting less (3/4 or 1/2) so that the bet only has to work a lesser % of the time. It depends if your betting for value or betting as a semi-bluff.

Off topic; I'd be interested to know how you've been playing for 5 years and still are at 2NL. No disrespect, I just don't see that very often.

I was wondering when someone will bring that question up
I was playing fixed limit till 2 weaks ago, was quite successful there but got into a big fat downswing. Now trying to get NL up and running.

PS: No, i did not go broke if ur thinking of that

Hello HughJazz82,

I do bet pretty much the same, either I do have the FD or not. Not adjusting to my hand strength. ~$0,34+ should be fine here.

Best regards.
