Excellent start to the series! o/

This is a topic often neglected by players in the growth phase, but it makes a big difference in long-term profitability. The motto is always to try to extract the maximum in the best situations and lose as little as possible in the worst. (obviously)

I have certainly left (and still leave) a lot of value on the table on very connected boards and with poorly sized odds on dry boards.

I used fixed sizing at the beginning of my journey. 1/3, 1/2, pot and overbet most of the time... This really simplifies things a lot... I also think that to advance in poker we need to understand how bet sizes influence our decisions according to the phase of the game, the bet/effective stack ratio, etc... but I also believe that this is not so trivial (except in more standard situations), and to reach this deeper understanding we must have a broad understanding of many other aspects of the game. (just thoughts).

Currently I have a wider range of betting variations (1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 55%... 125%, but I still have A LOT to learn about both balance and the reasons behind certain values).

For me, one of the most common mistakes beginners make is betting small with a strong hand on the river because you're afraid of being folded, or even trying to set a trap, simply by getting a check behind! (laughs)
