Default Re: qq from party poker level 1

This 10%/5% rule sounds pretty reasonable. With that in mind, wouldn't you want to raise, say 12% of other people's stacks?

This is exactly why I recommended that he raise to 100-125 with QQ in an earlier post.

But if you do that, don't you run into the problem of more all-in reraises as steal attempts?

I'm only going to do this with AA, KK, AK, or QQ. Therefore, I'm usually thrilled by reraises as steal attempts. Unfortunately, I don't see this often. When you raise this much on level 1, even the maniacs know not to bluff you (of course, this doesn't stop them from calling).

zaphod didn't make a 4xBB bet, he made a 4xSB = 2xBB bet

Read the history again. Party's stupid hand history shows "15/30" as if this were a limit game. Look at where the blinds are posted and you will see that the BB was 15.
