At the micros, you should almost never be betting less than 1/2 pot. Deviations from this require a specific read on a Villain.
IMO, you're much better off learning to adjust your ranges to betting 2/3 - 3/4 PSB than to try to adjust your bet sizes to match your ranges.

The reason is that if you're playing tight ranges, then you're probably ahead more often and by more than you think you are.
As you get better at treating villains like individuals, you can deviate from your norm to exploit specific traits, but for now, just focus on getting better without letting your improvement go to your head. You're much better at treating villains like individuals than you were a month or 2 ago... but still nowhere near the goal. It's a long, and tedious path.

You're in a spot where you're getting pretty good at understanding your own ranges, but not yet very good at doing so for villains. The villains you're playing against are less good than you at their own ranges, but - honestly - not too much worse than you at reading villains. Your competitive advantage is in your better ranges. So you capitalize by betting more when you bet.


This will change later on, but for now, these factors dominate, IMO.

What have I done to let my improvement get to my head? I was just wondering what you guys thought about my bet sizing, Jonathan Little says we can bet 1/3 pot Because we want to keep our opponents in the pot with all their weaker ranges, if we bet larger villain may have folded his Inferior A3 and all hands weaker, . He had 9% Equity and on the turn I got him to call a bet with pot odds of 3.5:1.. How am I not understanding villains range? I put him on a few ranges in this hand and ended up being correct and checked behind? I’m just wondering where your getting your assumptions from I havnn’t said or done anything to give off a vibe that I am letting improvement get to my head ...all I did was ask your opinions about bet sizing in this hand and I agree Icould have gone a bet larger but also trying to follow Jon’s advice
