2.5x+1 per caller in position and 3+1 oop isnt a bad place to start. If they have extremely low fold to 3bet just keep upping the number of bb's pre, find their threshold (you want maximum in pre and a call). Here is a spot where you are rarely squeezing light so no need to make it small (opposed to squeezing 2 fullstacked regs and wanting to be able to peel a 4b.sqz a lot etc), prolly go $8.

The shortie over a tiny sample of hands and him being shortstacked shows he could be pretty wide. I went smaller with the idea of letting OR he had some FE and induce a shove but he obv peels and then the reg peeled. I in turn got wacked by said reg.

Note to self, bigger is better.

people still overestimate their postflop abilities massively especially oop. 100bb just get the pot as big as possible and let their ego+ your better starting hand do the work for you.

in this specific hand yeah you run a huge risk of the pot going 3way with a small sqz. shorties are generally recs and recs like to see flops.

$7.50 fine if you're happy getting it in vs OR.

Just fyi, what's up with your HUD? Players in seat 1 and 10 have identical stats... must be wrong?

Good spot, very spooky.
