    Default KK NL 50 - Side Pot Bet Sizing

    Absolute Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
    6 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $95.85
    UTG+1: $25
    CO: $14.48
    Button: $98.50
    HERO: $102.20
    BB: $116

    Pre-flop: (6 players) HERO is SB with K K
    UTG raises to $2, UTG+1 folds, CO raises to $4, Button folds, HERO raises to $14.25, BB calls, UTG folds, CO raises all-in $14.48, HERO calls, BB calls.

    Flop: 2 Q K ($45.44, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $45.44)
    HERO bets $20, BB calls.

    Turn: J ($85.44, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $45.44, Sidepot 1: $40)
    HERO ?????.


    UTG is about 35/15/6 through 150 hands or so.

    I down sized my flop bet a little, both because of the side pot aspect and I think he might want to shove. Not a 100% sure what my thought process here should be. Advice on both flop and turn please.

    After cold calling that many times, he likes his hand. $45 at least.

    I'd bet more on the flop so that the money goes in easier on the turn.

    QFT, this is where you size your bet. $85 behind, usually ~1/3 is good. So make it $30, that leaves $50 into a $90 side pot.

    As played, there is too much money in the middle to fuck around, just push.

    Yeah, a little more on the flop may have set the hook.
