excellent information the truth every decision made in the corresponding time is usually good but when you doubt and you have weak hands for each round making bluff decisions it is very dangerous the loss of chips and being far behind is a sure thing but with each hand is good to raise according to the hands offered in each round

In tournaments I don't open to different sizes depending on the position but according to the size of the stack. I am used to opening 3 big blinds at the beginning of the tournaments, then I open to 2.5 and finally, when the stacks are short I open 2 big blinds.

everything is very situational, most often 2.5 or 3 bets. in my experience limping is a road to defeat, although sometimes very effective tact

article

We set the tone for any poker hand preflop. Every decision (or indecision) we make has an effect on the rest of the hand (and cumulatively the entire poker game) . It is important to have plan, and that includes knowing what and when to raise preflop. Plan wisely, and you will set your poker game up for optimal success more often than not.

Take a look at our poker strategy article: Preflop Raise Sizing

Do you follow these principles, or do you have a different plan of attack? Or are you more a "fly by the seat of your pants" sort of player, making it up as you go (how's that working out for you, by the way ;))?

Thank you Tammy, found this article really enlightening and thought provoking about how to vary betting sizes the deeper we get in stack size. That could come in very handy

Поучительная статья, люблю смотреть покерный анализ за финальными столами, там редко даже доходит до флопа. Вам нужно очень хорошо играть на префлопе, обычный игрок может сбросить карты, а новичок может вколить или даже пойти ва-банк.

Rules To Help You Choose The Perfect Bet Sizes

Choosing bet sizes is not an easy task in No Limit Hold'em. There is no one "perfect" size that can be used in all situations. Below you will find eight rules that you should follow when choosing the right sizing.


There are many factors to consider when selecting bet sizes. I found very usefull those Eight rules. Rules to help you determine your bet amounts. Here's what each of these sounds like:


1. Increase your raises pre-flop if there is a weak player in the blinds.

2. Go for larger 3-bet sizes pre-flop when you are out of position after the flop

3. Use small bets (25% -35% of the pot) on boards that are dry and static.

4. Place bigger bets (55% -80% of the pot) on wet and dynamic textured boards.

5. The ratio of your stack to the pot should affect your bet.

6. Use overbets when you have the advantage of having the best hands.

7. Always use a larger size (66% of the pot and above) when double barrels on the turn.

8. Use small c-bets (25-40% of the pot) in 3-bet pots.

Good luck everyone. Shuffle up and Deal :)

I think depending on which raise you are talking about.
If it's a bluff raise then you can bet half the pot. If it's not a bluff raise, then 3bet. maybe this is wrong, but I would most likely do this :p

I play mtt and talk about it, you should always make the same bet size with aces and jack 10 of the same size so that the opponent can never determine the strength of the hand by the bulk open raise, but it's another matter if you play blind on blind or for example you play with a button against two short stacks, everything is individual) if you know that there are aggressive players, you can just make a limp sometimes or on the contrary put 3.8 blinds, you need to proceed from the players, try and experiment)

Thanks, I'll read the article, it seems to be very interesting, and it certainly fell into what I've been thinking these days about how to bet pre Flop. What I have noticed, is that many players with marginal hands, are relatively exaggerating in the size of the pre Flop Raise, including for good I do, but after analyzing each situation and depending on how the villain is playing, and giving me information. On the other hand, people who come with very strong hands like AA and KK, have played passively, including in a tournament I was playing, the guy in SB, came limp with KK and I on BB holding AK, I pushed, and unfortunately I found my face at the door. I particularly find it a tremendous mistake just give limp with AA, KK, QQ, in fact, I can not do that, for me be it medium pair, it's Raise or Fold, simple as that.

Good luck at the tables!

The raise I use is 3x the blinds. I think that is the standard raise for cash games. While in tournaments I use 2.5x/3x the blinds. But still depending on my opponents and my stack sizes.

In my way of thinking it depends a lot on the opponents and who I'm playing with, I think that for each type of entry there is a rule in exception, I say this based on the question I'm answering If it were me nation, So it depends a lot on each kind of villain, so I hungryly apply the villain I'm playing with. Congratulations on the question Stay with God thanks.;);):D:D
