I have a follow up oin this. Suppose you HIT the flop (TPTK, for example). What would be your recommendation on a bet size [range] if it is checked to you in a simlar situation?

I would think the bet size needs to be fairly consistant with the instances when you are aggressive preflop and have shown down that you DID hit the flop. Otherwise players who are paying attention will notice you bet 1/2 - 2/3 when you are CBing and 3/4-pot when you hit. right??

Absolutely. It depends on a lot of things, like chips stacks, position, whgere you are in the tourney, how strong your hand is, what the texture of the flop is...

Generally though, you want to vary your bets for the exact same situations. that will make it much more difficult for an observant to get a read on you.

If you have a read on the player you are in the pot with, that will factor into how you proceed with the hand. Since most tournaments we're referring to take place online, you rarely sit with the same people twice.

That being said, analyze the flop. Look at chip stacks, blind levels, etc. If the flop is possibly dangerous, it'd be smarter to bet a little higher than normal (1/2 - 2/3), so to make chasers fold. Maybe a pot-sized bet. There's nothing wrong with taking down a pot on the flop. Uncontested pots are great for your stack and great for your table image.

(Sidenote: It's always good to put a player note on someone when something out of the ordinary happens... or when something catches your eye. It'll help out tremendously if you find yourself in a questionable situation with that player down the road.)
