-I played this hand yesterday.

I min-raise because of my stack-size. I think I can also use a sizing between a min-raise and about 2.2x. I probably should have sized up, but I sort of adopted this sizing at this table and I didn’t want to change it based on my hand strength. Plus, I welcome anyone to 3-bet me. And, my stack is shallow enough that I can get my stack in by the river.

On the flop, I chose to bet bigger for a few reasons: I want to charge flushdraws and straight draws. I think I can get value from a lot of worse Aces and small pairs between 44-99.

On the turn, the 6 doesn’t really change much, 45 was already there, and with the flushdraw, I think villain will raise us at some point, probably on the flop. I am unsure if I chose the correct bet-sizing on the turn, which makes me question if I chose the correct sizing on the flop. I’m thinking that we can still get called by 99,88,77, worse aces, and strong flushdraws, as well as 44 and 55 due to the straight draws. I don’t know if that’s reason enough to bet so big. In retrospect, I think I should have bet smaller on the flop and bigger on the turn.

What do you guys think about my thinking?
