bet obviously... if a nitty player goes ape shit crazy (they ALL seem to setmine and expect action), I'd fold it to a raise, but otherwise, I'd have a majority of their hands on stuff like KQ or flush draw, which you're obviously ahead of

Why do you play 69 big blinds deep? Why do you raise less than pot preflop?

a 3x raise is fine imo, what's wrong with that?

well as for the buy-in idk i guess its just a comfort thing...idk no really good reason on that

and actually i think the raise is fine...normally i may make it $1 here but the table was especially tight and i wanted a lil action which i got


i guess my main question here is since if i call ill have ~12 behind and if i raise i might as well push all in since a decent raise would commit me anyway

I think whether or not to raise to 3, 3.5, or 4 BB depends mainly on how loose or tight you are going to play. If you're going to play a tight game, I'd be raising to 4, but if you are going to be playing LAG style 3 is a much better amount because you're not going to be committing as much with your weaker hands preflop.

You're 69 bb's deep, so call here and get it in on the turn.

Fix your buy-in though. 69 bb's is a nasty stack size to deal with.

if i think opponent may call here should i just try to get it in here?

or should i let a non flush card hit the turn and try to get it in there? (even though opponent would be less likely to call if they were on the flush draw?

Whups, didn't see the FD. Go ahead and jam it in.

Some of these small raises are "to see where they stand". And if the board is rainbow, you can wait until the turn to get it in, since a bet/3-bet line on the flop looks mega strong and may fold out some of the hands you beat.

But now since there are draws that villains will call with as well as weaker kings, then we can go ahead and jam it in.

reraise to 10 dollar, if he all in, snap call, good chance u are up againist a split, KQ, or obv turn play flush draw.
