I usually vary my amount. Any hand that isn't paired or small PP ill raise 3 times the BB (Except AK) And any hand Queens and above Ill raise to 4 times the BB and just call a re raise with QQ and Re raise again with KK or AA. Ill shove with AA to a re re raise. lol But will just call with Kings.
Hope some of that makes sense.
I agree. The problem is, I could name so many times where my aces have been sucked out on.don't be result orientated The majority of the time people fold to my raises when I have aces, but the times that I have raised it only 3 times the bb to try and disguise my hand I have had callers who flop the nuts straight and what not. It gets really annoying. Raising to 5 times the bb stops the majority of King Queens and Jack 10/ Ace 10's callingyou want these hands calling you. You make your majority of your money off the fish. Some idiots will still call and flop the nuts but it's a lot lower with the 5 bb raise. I will however admit that this is bad play.
What I should be trying to do is work out if my Aces are still good pre flopaces are always good preflop or did i misread this?. It is just really hard folding aces post flop when uve been dealt absolute shit for the last 1k hands and the hands you do get that are good, people have folded haha.
Major leak and major bad play. It's something im working on.
hi all,
some articles/people advise you
"if you are going to raise,
always raise the same amount".
others say vary your raises.
anyone have any thoughts on this ?
gl on and off the tables.
you don't want to be adjusting your bet sizing by your range. Really big leak
the only time i adjust my sizing is when attempting to steal. Besides that it stays the same
Actually you should be adjusting your bet size by your range.
In EP your range is stranger than in MP or LP, so your EP raises should be larger than your MP or LP raises.
The reason you are adjusting your steal raise size is partly to do with the fact that your stealing range represents a weak range and thus your steal size is smaller than your MP or EP raise size because it is reflective of the reduced strength compared to those ranges.
I saw many tutorials on that topic, but i raise based on moment and player in the hand. I know sometimes i win, sometimes i lose more because of it but on the end you make your own tactic about raise and stick with it.
until the antes kick in in a MTT. After that I lower to 2.5xBB or maybe even slightly less than that.
