This probably a big leak I have atm, because I don't really look at pot sizes very much. The low-level fish I played with the past couple of days, if I were to throw in a pot-sized bet, they'd probably just fold out, only staying in with a real monster. So I mainly make postflop bets based on "what would scare off the 'gamblers' (like draws)?" (when I have something decent) or "how much will he follow me?" (when I think I'm ahead).

So the theory, as I see it, is that you play for the contents of the pot, so your bets should be in relation of the pot because of the 'odds to win' factor. Like, if I had TPLK and gave myself a 75% chance to win through my read of the table, maybe I'd go with a bet a little less than 75% of the pot, right?

Like pot is 2$, I raise 1.4$..

Or is this thinking off? Would appreciate some input from how you guys with more experience make your bets postflop.. like when you go 1/2 pot, 3/4 pot, pot-size, etc.
