Why bet so small?
Is it due to $1.03 being ~1/2 of Hero's current stack?
i chose the size i did because it sets up stacks nicely to shove turn, and i want to make sure that pair+draw hands are tempted to come along. feels like if we bet too much of the effective stacks we'll only get action from sets, straights, and MAYBE two pairs whereas if we bet like $0.75 we can still get stacks in and we encourage the weaker part of villains ranges to come along and hopefully get "pot-committed"

that's just my rationale. could well be wrong. i don't know much about betsizing strategy
