Well, heres a question in my quest to learn proper bet sizing. what do you guys think of this squeeze size?

too big, go small enough that you can reopen the betting if button jams and someone else calls
18bb does the business

You might have scared them away with a raise 22.5 BB. Should of called and then played the board.

how big are you making your next bet when you reopen betting after someone calls the button jam?

@USN4life09: that seems like a terrible idea. Maybe I'm wrong, but isnt that a good way to kill the value of a primo hand? not only by doing this are you losing lots of equity, but you also put yourself out of position to two opps.

6b all in obv, bb and utg really unlikely to have QQ+ after they call the min 3b, you have fold equity vs 88-JJ and you flip when called = jam is the only option i would consider

fair enough, thanks for the input
