Default Re: I ended the limpfest. What now?

It seems to me that raise would still be too high. As some others were telling me this week when I asked a similar question, you're chasing out a lot of future money to be made if you raise too big. As you've seen, you also encourage all-ins.

Which I suppose might be better at the 5's than at the 10's, etc.

But you've decimated your stack by such a big raise. Once you commit that much to the pot, you have to be prepared to go all-in. You're too weak afterwards on the one hand, and your chances of making a killing will compensate you for being beat on the other.

If you don't want to bet everything on making a killing when you win but very often losing, or don't want to be crippling your stack, don't make those big preflop raises. Especially with a hand that is often beaten.
