Folded to hero, who raises to 600. mp3 and co calls. reads: mp3 + co are solid players.
Flop (pot=2350): 333
Throughout the book, Harrington usually recommends a continuation bet of 1/2 pot when you raise preflop and you are the first to bet.
However, he argues a 1/3pot bet here instead because it's likely at least one of the players has a pocket pair.
But wouldn't a 1/3 pot just encourage someone with ak or a small pocket pair to stay in since your bet is read as weak? Whereas a 1/2 pot bet will have better chances of getting ak and small pp to fold? /images/graemlins/confused.gif
