Single-Raised Pot
Flop
4♠ 5♠ A♥

While betting is correct, we should use a larger sizing to extract value and protect against the many draws available on this wet board.

Flop Analysis

We have a massive equity advantage (62%) and should be betting frequently. While we bet small, a larger sizing is preferred to charge the various spade and straight draws BB defends with.

Note: Sizing is too small; a 60% pot bet (2.7BB) is significantly higher EV than 1.2BB on this wet texture.
