Bet Sizing When Firing Multiple Barrels

Anytime we are going to fire multiple barrels, we should bet bigger on the street before. We often times fire multiple barrels because we believe that we have a lot of fold equity or pot equity + fold equity. When we think we have a lot of fold equity, a bigger bet on the street before will allow us to win more when we get our opponent to fold on a later street. When we have a lot of pot equity + fold equity, a bigger bet will allow us to win more the times he folds on a future street or when we hit our draw. For example: Hero opens A2ss OTB and a fish calls in the BB. Flop comes 636r. What is our c-bet size? I often make it about half pot here but a bigger bet size is in order. A fish will often peel light on the flop with hands like KQ and Ax that will fold to a second barrel unimproved. We should bet bigger on the flop, 4-5, with the intention of taking him off his hand on the turn. We can bet bigger on the flop, and smaller on the turn as our bet sizing does not affect his calling range.
