1) Recently, I have heard/seen in different spots, that you should almost always make a small bet (30%?) with your entire betting range on monotone flops. Why is that? Is the statement even true?
Just as a speculation, I would say that people play quite straightforward on these flops and fold the vast majority of unmade hands, that don't have a flush draw. Am I close and what other reasons are there?
2) I am unsure about my thought process including equities in general. For example, imagine you have a draw, let's say a gutshot on the flop. Your opponent bets small enough, that in case you would see both the turn and the river, it would be a profitable call, but at the same time, you can´t guarantee you will ever get to the river, because your opponent can bet you off the hand on the turn and the bet is big enough to not be a profitable one if you see one street only. What is the correct way to think about this situation? What kind of factors do you have to consider here? For the simplicity of this very broad question, you don´t have any showdown value, just a pure draw.
