[4NL] 75s in the BU
So I was playing this hand, after trying to rebalance my ranges (I've only been back to poker for a few days)
I only have villain (SB) over ~400 hands with a sort of normal range for 4NL (23/15, with 60% fold to flop cbet, and similar stats around, though too small a sample size to make any definitive deductions)
I was wondering if opening this is standard in this position, and if a pot sized bet is right, or if I should be adjusting for position (I have been just using PSB preflop unless I'm 3-betting).
I'm also wondering about bet sizing on the flop and turn. I was thinking 1/2 pot makes sense, since there is more fold equity on a flop like this, as well as the turn, compared to other hands. Let me know any thoughts you have on the hand regarding those questions, and other things you might notice. Thanks for the help!

I like pre-flop to isolate the CO and play an ok hand in position against a guy who probably sucks since he open limped in a 4nl game. Sizing is fine.
On the flop you should be comfortable with betting and getting all the money in here because you have like 5 million outs against anything and his stack is short. I'm going to tend to want to bet a little more on this flop (and more than 1/2 pot on flops in general), more towards the 60%-70% range at least.
I think I prefer to just check behind on the turn. It's going to be hard to get a call out of anything you're ahead of or a fold out of anything that's ahead of you, and you have plenty of showdown equity if it just checks down on the river.
