Thank you in advance for any advice.
I was taught to never adjust my pre-flop raise so as not to reveal any information about my hand but I find myself wanting to raise more than the standard 3x big blind with more than one limper behind, in order to isolate/gain position. This is amplified when it is early in a tourney and a 3 or 4x big blind raise doesn't seem to get anyone to fold.
I realize, in tournaments, I can pick a standard raise per blind level and stick with that but when you are opening the pot with a raise, and you would like some action...raising too much doesn't seem right either.
Any thoughts on this?
