I’m just curious why you like his flop bet-size, as I think it’s really awkward in terms of turn stack sizes.

Any turn bet he makes on this board texture is going to be pot committing, so he’s effectively reduced this hand to a 1 street hand, but hasn’t picked a bet-size that actually “accomplishes” that.

I feel like if his goal is to make you make a ‘committing’ decision he should take a pot flop shove turn line, and if his goal is to play 3 streets, he should go 1/2 pot, 1/2 pot, 1/2 pot.

I mean, if he has AA here, a turn bet of ~3,000 is effectively the same thing as shoving. The only difference is that he relies on you making the connection that 3000 = his stack.

At 40/80, i’m pretty sure he’s going to give you enough credit of realizing he’s never bet/folding the turn, or not shoving river after betting turn once he makes such a big turn bet.

Obviously its more expensive to c-bet pot on this board with air for the times he has KQ and plans on bet-folding the flop, but I just feel like turn stack sizes are really awkward for the ‘goal’ we’d hope to accomplish.

Thoughts?
