And the re-representation of the idea of Shania is so over complicated it becomes abstract.

As played, yes, I made a mistake on the flop by calling the min-raise. However, I still think it was a reasonable call given what the villain usually would be showing up with, and compared to the villains mistake of checking the turn and calling a shove, my mistake is small in comparison.

Suppose he had check-raised me to a better size, say $3 or $3.50, I would be getting much worse odds to call (around 2:1), and it would set up a less than PSB on the turn. Even with the set of Aces, I can't profitably call a PSB on the turn.

Overall, the point I am trying to make is that when you make correct bet sizing choices and value bet correctly, you set yourself up for easier decisions on later streets. Conversely, when you make incorrect choices, you make your later street decisions harder.
