    sorry, what i mean by this is that his range is dominated by weak made hands that aren't calling much (including the weak made hand + draw hands) and air which is calling even less. But maybe i've got this all wrong. Or i have the ranges right, but haven't understood the impact of different sizing on his calling ranges correctly.

    Bet bigger...especially since it's HU and so much shit bricked. No clue why villain can't have Kx Qx, c/ring this board with naked Kx is suicide in villains shoes.

    edit: Even though you updated I'd still bet a little bigger for the reasons stated previously.

    cool, cheers. Bigger seems smarter and his bluff-catchers just as likely to bluff-catch big as tiny?

    Ingame i was torn between small (like $4ish) and nearer pot ($9ish). Doesn't really matter which i chose, i posted the hand with one of the sizes i was considering at the time.

    The big problem with going smaller here is that villains range isn't super weak. I mean if you bet 3$ and 9$ you only need 9$ to get paid off 1/3 of the time 3$ gets paid off. Do you think 9$ will? If yes then bet 9$.
