Message: [QUOTE="primrose, post: 6986983, member: 1036998"] I think you've wanted me to increase my sizing in almost every online hand I've posted so far 😔. I don't agree though. In GTO world, I think a larger sizing would probably be better, but in practice, I think it would mostly make Villain fold out the bottom parts of their range, which isn't good. I also think they'd 4bet with pretty much the same range vs. a 3x and 5x (a range that probably contains no bluffs), and I want to lose less if I run into a premium hand. So putting this both together, I feel like going 5x would "force" villain to play better, which I don't want. This is a similar reason for why I don't go higher than 5x/4x (4x in early position and 5x otherwise) when I open first in. I think given the Ante, a GTO open is at least 6x, but practically I don't think it accomplishes anything. I'm open to be convinced on the sizing but I think "there's more money in the pot, therefore fundamentals suggest raising larger" isn't a good enough argument. The field doesn't play GTO. I agree, but is this relevant? I think the chances that these opponents can hand-read are very low. Suppose BB has something like :ad4: :8s4: . I think this is a hand they'd call a 50% bet with but fold to an overbet. Ditto lots of other combination that have a junky pair, like :6c4: :6d4: . Also if they have a strong but not nut hand like :8s4: :3s4: , I think there's a high chance they call this bet rather than raising, which would be excellent for me. And if they do raise, I'm expecting a set every time, in which case it's again good for me since I probably lose less this way. Idk, interested to hear other people's thoughts on this; my sense is that this will work well against the typical splashy online player. It's not something I'd consider against a strong player.
