You a shortstacker?

Hand 1 I shove or throw $2.40 in. I think a $3.20 shove into a $2.60 pot at this point looks weaker and can't see anypair or draw leaving us. The pot is so damn drawy. Given villains likely a fish (a huge vpip/pfr gap goes a long way towards showing us a fish despite little conversion) and the small effective stacks I like the 3bet.

If your not playing a short stack strategy buy in full.

Hand 2 I keep betting. 1.70 followed by a shove seems good to me.

*Your up against a fish they like to call with 45/34s/A6/A4/67/77-99 hands here.
*Villain limp called, his range is heavily weighted towards the weaker hands we beat than the strong JJ+ or floated AJ/KJ hands we lose to which are more likely to raise. Villains tiny PFR and large Vpip are enough to tell us he's a fish but not enough to tell us he only raises 5% of his range. If he has AJ or AA consider yourself coolered.

lock poker switch to a new system. They have a shallow table max $5.
I still need time to familiar with that

Maybe this is my problem. I always consider a normal size is like 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 pot size. I already increase my regular bet from 1/2 to 2/3. It seems not enough, right.

Because I always worry will they call a bet that is not a "normal" size. As for me I will not call that kind of bet.You can check my other post in this series. All the same problem.

It seems here you only consider how much you should bet so that you can shove later, right? You do not need to worry about if this will make him fold(I should say quite possible)

If I have like $10 buyin, I should even bet twice more as your suggestion, right.

For this situation yes... well mostly yes. He's a fish I don't think there is much he will fold that wouldn't have folded to a half pot bet. The other factor is many of his hands will be pair+Gutshots or pairs that will very likely face yet another overcard on the river. His range is going to get much weaker on non-straight rivers so we need to get as much money in now whilst he'll call if we hope to commit him to a river shove with an even weaker hand.

As for what I consider a normal size bet I'd say a little over 2/3 is my average bet size 1/2 is small and over 3/4 is big. Considering your playing micro stakes your average bet size should be larger than this and certainly not 1/2 because nearly all the lines we take are going to be for value vs people who call too much.

Ok, I am now trying to get used to bet 2/3 pot size as my average bet.

adjust your bet sizes on board texture and opponents range, you shouldn't have a standard and at these stakes when you have a good hand your main goal should be getting all the money in the middle so a lot of the time you want to bet 4/5 or bigger if that's what is needed.
