Hey all, got a sizing question. EDIT - they are both unknown.

FLOP - Do you

1) bet smaller like 12ish to induce? (if they C/C then bet big on safe turn in order to prepare good-size-shove on river); or

2) bet flop 15 like I did - in order to build the pot for more natural bet size on safe turn like 90'% pot. And also this bet flop looks like a position bluff-bet

3) overbet flop - bet smaller on turn (still enough to ship river with not weird amount) - shove river. This line has advantage that it may look like you have FD yourself and overplay river. On the other hand overbet flop is always value bet and regs know it.

?

Thx for opinions ;)

i usually do 1 (i am not sure if it is right) b/c i feel that once lower stakes players call once they often feel a mental commitedness to the pot so they will more likely calll larger bets on future streets

I like the betsizing on the flop. We'd bet that big with air, too, therefore
betting big for value as well is fine.
I'm not a big fan of an overbet because we have no reason to overbet with air.

Btw I'd raise bigger on the turn. Imo the most likely hand for him is a NFD, you give him
good odds by making it so small.

right, and I also want to raise bigger if I have NUTFD as a semi-bluff to maximize the fold equity. Good comment.
