Just a note on bet sizing. If you make pot sized bets as a matter of routine you quickly find that you are putting your entire stack risk very quickly. Here is a little math.
Let's say you have 15-20 BB as a result of preflop action. So you bet 15-20 on the flop, get called, making the pot 45-60. You pb the turn and now you have 135-180. You pb the river your entire 200 BB deep stack is now at risk. So that's cool if you have a set or something but just a pair ?
Contrast that to making some adjustments for the pot size. You pb the flop, 2/3p the turn and 1/2p the river. Now you are around 15 + 20 + 35 = 70, painful but not catastrophic should you lose. Also note that even primary draws (4 to 1) are getting the wrong immediate odds to chase with just a half pot bet (3 to 1).
