    Default Bleh! I suck at planning my bet sizes

    Here's a simple example of me not planning my future bets properly:

    $2/$4 No Limit Holdem
    5 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($289.80)
    CO ($558.90)
    BTN ($351.80)
    SB ($235.20)
    Hero ($449.10)

    Pre-flop: ($6, 5 players) Hero is BB
    1 fold, CO bets $14, 2 folds, Hero bets $48, CO calls $38

    Flop: ($106, 2 players)
    Hero bets $78, CO calls $78

    Turn: ($262, 2 players)
    Hero bets $168, CO calls $168

    River: ($598, 2 players)
    Hero goes all-in $151.10

    Villain is a fish and I just want to get the money in on almost any board.

    I usually bet between 2/3 and 3/4 the size of the pot on the flop. However, this always seems to leave me with a stack about 1.25 times the pot on the turn.

    What do you guys think is the best bet sizing for spots like these?

    I always like this bet sizing against fish, for some reason it allows them to call the river with any 'ol junk when they miss their draws.

    I just ship the turn even though it's 1.25 or wtv. He's never folding combo draws or pair + draw.
