Consider check/back on this flop with AK. You have plenty of weaker hands that make better cbet bluffs. Nothing wrong with delayed c-bet on turn

As played... bet larger. If you have value here you want to charge flush draws, straight draws, etc, no? Why would you give them a great price to continue?

You could even overbet turn. You have 44/TT/JJ/KQ and potentially Q8s in your range, all of which want to maximize value before a 4-straight or spade river kills the action.

Lol. If your bet sizing reflects your hand strength then it's going to be pretty easy to play against you

You bluff to get your opponents to think you have a value hand (causing them to hopefully fold), so you need to bet like you have one or they won't be very convinced will they?

Also didn't you post the JTs hand where you pot the flop on 226r? Did you have value there?

You don't seem to have any plan when it comes to your bet sizing

Also on the JT hand you refer to, you advise me to bet 33%.. so why was that suitable for small size and this not? is it because of a dry vs wet board?

Small sizing is better on uncoordinated boards where your opponent is going to have to fold often because they have minimal outs to improve their hand

On boards like this, villain has lots of draws that want to call so you bet large to either extract value or dissuade them from calling
