Bet sizing question

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 A 5
4 folds, Hero (SB) raises to $4, BB calls

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

Is your raise size here consistent across your whole range?
For example, do we change our sizing here if we have a set, AA, AK, or a bluff like AdJd?

clicking it back seems to induce more calls/raises than other 3bet sizing

So are you CiB here as a bluff ever?
How does position influence our decision here?

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.

i like the CiB 3bet best with my drawing hands, as long as the stack sizes allow me a PSB to shove the turn. because i expect to get more action from the CiB i personally don't find it a good bluff move. i think it's true regardless of position.


with my nut hands i usually 3bet bigger if the board is drawy. as i play 50nl, i don't find it to be important to do this sort of balancing with my betsizing.

calling and calling down any non board-paring cards turn and river cards seems good to me, slightly better than clicking it back

and btw i d do that with my entire range for continuing unless there was relevant history between us

I like a v.small raise.

I'd raise bigger with made hands but who cares right.

Yeah I make it really small so that if he has an air component in his raising range it looks to him like he has FE.

I would just call here, not re-raise unless you are willing to call all-in with nothing but a draw. You have 12 outs; can't count the 3 aces because you might already be up against a set. If you just call, you might be able to avoid getting stacked when you miss. If your opponent truly has a set, he will pay off your flush anyway even when the flush card hits. You probably have 0 fold equity here and have to hit, and you are less than 50-50 to do so.

Well of course I am going to get all-in if I raise.
How would I have 0 FE here? So you are saying that no one ever bluff raises this flop? lol

this spot is a lot tricker if villain is capable of doing this w KQ here
