100nl-Gutshot nutflush draw oop

the reason its okay to go all in with flush draws when you have <50% equity because you usually have good FE on your big 3bet/shove. by 3betting so small you take away this advantage

now you give him the chance to decide whther the pot goes 4bets so he will only do it with sets/flushes and maybe like kckx or something. so ya, u turn an easy standard +EV spot into a quite likely -EV spot

Preflop is fine imo, I'm opening hands like this all day with that guy in the blinds. You've got a pretty bad ass draw here, I'm defo happy to make a more commiting 3 bet and get it in. We have very little of his range in terribad shape though so need all the FE we can get to make this better.

Yep I definitely hear you about the small 3b. The bet was actually raised 20, which made it 24, but it still put me in an awkward spot. He raised 54, which made it 65 and i had zero Fold equity by that time. When i was making that raise I thought back to the post that JL put out last week called 'Bet Sizing Question". It was a similar spot, and the majority of the replies were to 3b on the smaller side.

Villain is running 22/19/3 with 3bet of 6% and a raise cbet of 14% over 500 hands.
We have a Tagg or slightly nitty image.

$100NL
100bb stacks
Hero is dealt As 5s
4 folds, Hero (SB) raises to $4, BB calls

Flop: 2s 4s Kd ($8)
Hero bets $6, BB raises $20, Hero raises to what?


Ravageur said: I'd make it about 43ish with most of my 3-betting range. I think with my more vulnerable hands i'd make it a tiny bit bigger but ppl aren't going to pick up on that generally. I'd definitely make it this size with my bluffs, because any bigger seems to be a big mistake.

Alexos said:I like a v.small raise.
I'd raise bigger with made hands but who cares right.

Now in that example the raise size was to twenty, which made 43 doable. In my spot, the raise was to 11, and even if it made like 28, instead of 24, i would still be in the same spot when he 4bets.

I'm sure I'm missing or misunderstanding something here. Any help would be great.
