    Default Trying not to scare him off

    It bites me in the ass. Stupid bet sizing, letting him see cards cheap?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP1 ($3.40)
    MP2 ($5.73)
    CO ($12.70)
    Button ($13.22)
    SB ($3.50)
    BB ($12.53)
    UTG ($10)
    Hero (UTG+1) ($4.67)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K, A
    1 fold, Hero bets $0.40, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.40, 4 folds

    Flop: ($0.95) 3, A, K (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.50, MP2 calls $0.50

    Turn: ($1.95) 7 (2 players)
    Hero bets $1, MP2 calls $1

    River: ($3.95) Q (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.90, MP2 calls $1.90

    Total pot: $7.75 | Rake: $0.51

    Results:
    Hero had K, A (two pair, Aces and Kings).
    MP2 had Q, Q (three of a kind, Queens).
    Outcome: MP2 won $7.24

    If I was the opponent and I had a good draw, I would probably peel against those size bets. If the flop had 3 different suits those sizes would be a little more justified, although it would still depend on how much he clings to top pair type hands.

    Also what are you putting him on?

    oh and villain was pretty stupid to call your flop bet with an under pair and no draw. Which is another reason you should bet more. Until shown differently you should assume that they will stack of with a lot of crap. Just the fact that he called your flop makes it clear that he will go broke with any tp and even some worse hands. So remember that for the future. In short he is a pay off wizard.

    Turn > 1/2 Pot Bet
    River > 1/2 Pot Bet

    May I ask why you're buying in so short? Bet flop closer to pot, especially vs fish. Don't worry about them catching 2-outers from time to time, it happens.

    Value bet more on flop as you crush his calling range and want to get stacks in the middle before the board runs out awful/he gets scared.

    Any reason for short stacking?

    Same reason all short stackers short stack. He is pure evil and has made a deal with the devil.
