I think the reason you’re seeing sizing that’s different from what you’d expect is because you’re approaching sizing from the wrong perspective. You’re trying to stay balanced. This means your sizing as a bluff needs to follow a logic that works for your value hands, too. If you have AKs and the flop is K72r, you will check or bet small to get value from worse, because there is very little your opponents can continue with. For the same reason, you can bet smaller when bluffing on these boards. You don’t need to bet a large amount to have your opponent fold on dry, static flops. However on wet flops, you need to use a bigger sizing to deny equity, and it’s the same line you’d take if you have a value hand on a board like JT9 with a suit.
This also makes bluffing more profitable and more likely to get through on dry boards vs wet ones.
