BB snapcalled my 3bet so quickly that it almost appeared like auto-call any bet
Flop ($13.50) 4 A 5
Hero bets $8.50, BB calls $8.50, MP folds

River ($64.50) 4 A 5 3 6
Hero bets $22.75

I thought a lot about how to size my bets from the flop on but couldn't come up to with a good conclusion. I didn't wanna bet too small OTF, have the BB call and provide MP amazing odds even though this is probably still one of the better spots to do so (BB can't call as liberally because MP might shove and the board is really dry, so less necessity to protect).
As played, I ended up in this awkward stack sizing scenario where I didn't know how much to bet OTT and even less what to do OTR. I couldn't see how I'm beat except by the rare Axs 2p, set or 76s. OTOH I felt like he could often enough desperation call it off with AJ, ATs-A7s and other random hands he might have given this amazing price. Still, OTR I felt like I butchered this hand by quite a bit. Am I better off betting 1/3p OTF? What if the board was A78 2t, where I really don't wanna bet this small and entice all sorts of weak draws to come along with pretty good implied odds?
