At 8:27, top left table, why not range bet given the strength of your early position range on that board?

Very good content, but needs editing. Two hands were covered twice at considerable length.

Excellent video. Would very much appreciate a sequel featuring late position opens.

Good video, thank you. Like the previous poster, I, too, am interested in bet sizing in multiway pots. I play exclusively live $2/5 and $5/10, where multiway pots are the norm. I've recently begun using smaller flop sizings on all textures, on the theory that (a) as mentioned in the video, protection is particularly important multiway, so many hands benefit from betting, but (b) many of those hands are medium strength and don't benefit from large sizings. These small flop sizings also have the advantage of maintaining a higher SPR, and still allow for polarization on turns and rivers. My question is, does this seem like a generally correct strategy? Or are there still situations, such as particularly dynamic boards, on which bigger, more polarized flop sizings make more sense? Incidentally, I am defining a small sizing as something in the 30-40% range.
Thanks for any input you may have.
I've been playing poker for a long time, long ago learned about linear vs polarized 3bets, have a decent understanding of ranges based on solver outputs, etc...but I'm embarrassed to say that, before today, it never occurred to me that the reason solvers prefer certain kickers is that they unblock opponent's folding range. Brilliant! Goes to show you that, while memorizing ranges by rote can certainly work, digging into the rationale allows for superior understanding. Great stuff, Kevin, thanks!
