That certainly doesn't mean that most villains recognize this so maybe this sizing is really villain dependent, esp at the micros?
Basically when villains range is really weak or you are going to be following up with a 2barrel a lot and there is no threatening cards betting smaller is a lot better. Betting small A) Gets villains to fold incorrectly cause they are ahead or have enough equity to continue. B) Gets villain to continue with a much weaker then if we bet 2/3 pot, in which case we have a VERY profitable 2 or 3barrel.
Spots where this becomes really good is v villains who know that you know his range can NOT be very strong on a board. example is like u raise and villain is never ccing Ax and flop comes A high.
Last actual point I'll talk about for now is the fact that if both villains are folding approximately the same percent to 1/3 pot as 2/3 pot you are LIGHTING money on fire when you bet 2/3.
