    Default spots where i cbet and gave up (3 random hands)

    Common theme, my bet sizing on flops are probably mostly too small, and on turns for that matter also, but we're looking at spots specifically where I chose to check instead of betting again. Exception hand 2 where the flop sizing seems larger than normal, but I think I was planning on barrelling on turns that give us extra equity? Is this poor thinking?
