    Default bet sizin the shorty...

    Did I bet OK? I have trouble balancing wanting villain to call and wanting villain to get AI in these situations.

    Dont know anything about this guy...

    Note villain is starting at half-stack. I tried for a 3/4ths pot on the flop, but my math sucks, then I figured half villains stack on the turn figuring he'd push over, then just put him all in on the shitty river. It all good? Check/call river and hope to induce?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP ($55.35)
    CO ($43.55)
    Button ($25.60)
    SB ($26.50)
    Hero ($70.05)
    UTG ($49.25)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, K.
    1 fold, MP calls $0.50, 1 fold, Button calls $0.50, SB completes, Hero raises to $3.25, MP folds, Button calls $2.75, SB folds.

    Flop: ($7.50) 2, 3, 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $4, Button calls $4.

    Turn: ($15.50) T (2 players)
    Hero bets $9, Button calls $9.

    River: ($33.50) A (2 players)
    Hero bets $10, Button calls $9.35 (All-In).

    Final Pot: $52.85
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    It is an awkward stack size.

    I like to hammer on shorties, so I bet 1/3 of his stack on flop, $7. That leaves PSB on turn.

    Yeah, I like this too. I find shorties are more willing to call flop bets than other streets. So I like to get more of their stack in here and make later bets easier for them to call.
