Default Re: When do you reach all-in vs. fold mode?

Hiya Phishy,

For me, it's in the neighborhood of 10-12xBB. At that point, if I raise 3xBB pre-flop and am called, I barely have enough left to bet the pot at the flop, leaving me very little leverage to chase off a pair-plus-four draw or something similar. So, once your standard open-raise will be more than 1/3 of your stack, or if your only effective reraise in any pot would be more than 1/3 of your stack, you need to go all in (if you're going to raise) in order to get maximum leverage on your chips.
