Bet sizing the nuts
One of my leaks is not being able to get my stack in by the river with the nuts against fish. I think I'm a bit timid on earlier streets and end up with a pot sized jam on the river which I fear won't be called and so I wimp out on the river as well. Lame, cause I know I should just be getting it in - I'll be profiting way more by betting large and getting it in even if they fold occasionally rather than betting small and not getting my value.
Villain is 47/27 fish. The flop is wettish and I could have gone at least 45c. On the turn, I should be charging for continuing with draws so I probably could have gone more like 1.20, maybe larger? That makes a pot of 3.85 I can jam my remaining 3.10 into. Does this sound reasonable? Should I be betting even larger on earlier streets?
