Flop sizing is just terrible and means you have a gigantic leak in your thought process. Sorry to be blunt.
Just think about things a little bit
1) would you ever bluff raise a flop like this?
2) look at positions lets say you wanted to bluff raise the flop like this how do you ever expect folds and ere are so many good turn cards for villains range
Jsut in general we should be going to 65-80 absolute minimum both with our bluffing range and our value range. As we're oop I would construct my bluffing range asgutshots th back door clubs or overs and cobs. My value range would look like sets and potentially kj/aj depending on villains tendencies.
When you are thinking of what to do ask yourself couple f questions
1) what range am I raising for value
2) what range am I raising as a bliiff
3) how does villain see both of these ranges
how do I plan on playing different turns with the different parts of my ranges
Once we have that covered we can look at sizing generally sizing will always be very similar but we can make it a certain amount. S that we can set up a river jam. So sometimes you may need to make it 90 on the flop instead of 60 so you can bet 2.70 on the turn and then jam river for 7 or whatever works.
You don't need to worry about"oh this looks strong he obviously knows I have asset" as you're playing your entire range not your specific hand.
It's a leak a lot of people have.
Example- you raise utg and get 3bet utg1. You have aces and say to yourself if I 4bet here I look really strong. If you call you say you obviously say you have aces.
Flop j73 and you want to raise the fl you are paranoid so with 98 you don't do it because you think he won't put you on a value hand. With 22 you don't do it because you're scared it's obvious you have asset. If you think aboru your actual range ie which hands am I going to 3bet and which hands am I gong to flat, which will I bluff call which William bluff fold and then summarise knowing exactly how you're playing your complete range en you will improve significantly as a player.
