Applying Proper Bet Sizing On All Streets To Represent Hand Strength And Target The Maximum Possible Pot At Showdown

What is the most effective but underutilized strategy for extracting maximum value from your opponents? Proper bet-sizing on all streets according to the strength of your hand and your read on your opponents. Most amateurs throw money out haphazardly but optimizing bet amounts pre-flop, on the flop, turn, and river to represent the maximum strength while targeting the largest pot size at showdown is how the professionals separate themselves from the amateurs. Thoughts?

Aim to extract value by betting an amount that your opponent is likely to match when you hold a strong hand, such as top pair or better. This often entails wagering between two-thirds and three-quarters of the pot.
