Ohrite i totally misunderstood what you meant, i understand now though, you want to avoid getting to the river with round about a 1.5 SPR because of the awkward spots you can get into as the aggressor.

Using bet sizing and avoiding these sticky situations is never something i consciously think about when playing, gonna try do that from now on.

So for example we are at the river with the betting lead, the pot is $10 we have $15 behind.

We bet $6 with the bottom or close to it of our bet for value range and villain shoves, we would typically bet fold this with higher SPR's. We then have 9/40 = 0.23 pot odds if i'm using the correct formula, so if we have 23% equity or more we should call the shove, i think this is leading to us calling too often because we have priced ourselves in sort of, so if villain shoves a moderately strong range he's gonna be making a lot of money with profitable shoves vs us?

I think it would be more problematic on the turn if villain could be shoving various draws as well. This was purely made up i never stoved any ranges etc, but am i thinking along the right lines?
