Over my last 30k hands, I think I've leveled myself BvB about 4times. I need to stop doing this. I have been AIPF versus marginal hands twice though, that been 99 and AJ. But I think I need much better reads to be doing this as I'm owning myself.

My default 3betting size is usually 3 when IP and 3.5 when OOP, I'm unsure why I opted for 3.5x but probably due to the guys previous play and that I can get more value from dominated hands that aren't folding. And make it easier to get stacks in with TPTK.
And the guy was a maniac, I'm calling to keep dominated hands in that may fold to a 5b.
I wouldn't be doing this against a reggier player.

Its not full pot, but my reasoning is to get as much value early in the hand.
My default bet sizing in a unreraised pot is usually just under full pot. Also because of the flop texture(no broadways) we will be getting floated alot, allowing us to get two streets of value.
The plan was to b/f the turn(if I didnt hit 2pair) and let the river go c/c.
1. I mean that 4bet size might be good with history but should definitely not be standard. No need to raise that much without a ton of history.

2. Yeah that's good then. Vs. regs. I would rarely go over 3x unless stack sizes/reads.

3. $1.75 is full pot. I very rarely bet full pot unless I know I can get huge value or history or something.

I was just trying to make a point that your sizes seemed a tad too big which adds up pretty quickly.
