View Full Version : Do you guys bet based on the limit or the blinds?

I noticed thar Party's blinds for NL 25 is double most other sites' NL 25. Since people refer to betting in terms of big blinds (e.g. 4xBB or 6xBB) do you adjust your bets depending on blinds and not stack size?

You'll get plenty of callers with a 4xBB pre-flop raise on Party's NL 25, but the same $2 pre-flop raise on Paradise is 8xBB so I get less callers. However just raising $1 for AA doesn't seem right to me pre-flop.

When I go up in limits, I typically just vary my pre-flop raises depending on stack size (i.e. $4 at NL 50, $8 at NL 100). This doesn't matter as much post flop because I bet in terms of pot size then . . .

I think betting on a 50x BB stack vs 100x BB stack is significalty different. With TP/TK w/ a decent raise preflop, going all in w/ 50x BB is not so bad. However, on 100x BB if you get min raised after you lead out w/ TP/TK you generally throw it away, because you don't wanna risk your stack of 100x BB...

Maybe i'm rambling, but do you get the point?
I play strictly in terms of BB's...

I play 100X BB max bys. My standard open is 4x BB. Plus 1BB for every limper. Works for me so far.
