    You are giving away your hand with your bet sizes. Maybe you raise 4x with bigpairs and 2x suited connecters, or bet small on the flop with  middle pair / draws and big with 2pair+.

    Easy enough to fix, just choose a standard preflop raise size, and if you are going to vary post flop sizes do it based not on your hand but on things like board texture or how many people are in thr pot, never solely on hand strength.

    Cheers,

    They often say that good poker isn't about doing different things with the same hand, it's about doing the same thing with different hands...

    You can vary your sizing,  but not solely on hand strength.

    Do it based on information that is already out there for everyone to see.

    For example its ok to raisebigger UTG with a stronger range as the fact you are UTG means you have a stronger range anyway. You are giving no extra info to the table by making it an extra bb on your button raise sizie

    On a board like K82 rainbow you can bet smaller with your entire range, value or not as everyone can see its a dry board and you would want to keep 8x in the hand when you have AK just as much as you want to be able to fold out QJ cheaply when you have T9.

    Similarly on a wet board you will be betting bigger with your value hands to charge draws just as much as you will want to be bluffing bigger to discourage weak draws anc marginal pairs from realising their equity.
