Deep Stacks - how much to raise

[6a6yJIbkO_o]

Say blinds are really low and everybody has a deep stack.

You're UTG and get dealt AKo. Do you raise and if yes how much?

Do you count in terms of % of your stack?

Typically this is based on a factor of the blinds and antes. In a tournament depending on the table and players at it I'd raise early stages anywhere from 3-5x when I raise, maybe sometimes throw a limp in for deception and the opportunity to reraise if someone behind raises.

I always raise 4bb +1bb for limp

The size of the raise is mainly influenced by the blind sizes from my point of view. The deep stack doesn't count for me in this case.

I will raise 3x the BB most of the time! If I get re-raised once then I will call and see a flop. If multiple players re-raise me I would probably fold to not lose my chip stack early to a big pair.

3.5x bb with AKo facing re raise with two players we need roughly 35% to continue .i would go upto 4bet Jam

if its beggining i would raise 4bb if its middle stage 2.5/3.5bb

This question depends much on the dynamic of the table.Always raise first in and re raise and try not to exceeds 15 bb against multiple players.

 

[shomy21]

I'm betting there about 4x bb and just call if someone reraise me.

 

[trent32la]

If it's pre-ante, 3x-3.5x does it.

maintain your raise size to 3-5x as this helps when you want to steal with speculative hands and conceals your hand strength. for every limp before you add one BB
