Re: Bet size in MTT

He advocates a pot-sized bet every time if your bet will be anywhere near the vicinity of the pot.

Since reading Harrington (and re-reading, and re-reading...) I have changed my continuation bet to 1/2-2/3 pot depending on the flop texture. Many posters here advocate this as well.
I have found I still get as many folds as when I made pot-sized continuaton bets, but when I get played back at with a marginal holding, its easier to get away from (don't feel as pot stuck, especially early in a tourney), and I'm not damaging my stack as much when I have to fold.
Not saying you're wrong, I just have benefitted from altering my continutation bet size (bet on the flop after being the PF raiser), changing it from pot sized to 1/2-2/3 pot.
If the board is really draw heavy (flush and straight) and my stack is fairly deep, I will protect my hand with a pot sized bet (or even overbet if the situation warrants) to make sure the message is clear to my competitors that they must pay to play.
