Looking for some baby steps regarding turn betting and leveraging/deleveraging
I have a few refrences for these concepts and am getting better at trying to apply Sklansky's poker theorom in my thought process while playing hands.
But I need laymans terms, ques, keywords to keep it unclutured when actually playing, not just talking poker.
Anyone have a mental tricks to help remind themselves of how to bet the turn?
Looking to talk about choosing the right size to commit the opponent or force him to face a commitment type situation on the turn.
I like the turn alot better these days but need some ground rules to follow.
Any thoughts?

Some keys are
1. Type of player (calling station/rock etc)
2. What hand do you put the player on - this i believe is the key cause if you are able to pull out his/her exact hole cards you know how to get them to commit.
Could you provide an example and maybe we can go through the whole history. To sum it up you should have everything already planned with your hand, ie what you are going to do if you hit the flop based on your opponents ranges, then once the flop hits you have to make a decision on how you are going to stack your opponent if you are ahead.
Bet sizing is important preflop so you can commit or not-commit as the hand progresses.
It's so simple, yet so complex. "Big" and "small" hands are very subjective and it depends on the situation. With deep money behind, generally one and even two pair hands are small pot types of hands.
As for the turn specifically, ask yourself what hands the villain will call/fold/raise with. You want your bet to accomplish something positive. Either making a better hand fold, or a worse hand call or raise.
Another big one is how would you respond if your opponent raises you on the turn? Betting the turn in medium sized pots can make for very tough and uncomfortable decisions against certain opponents.
