I am always raising this to 275 or 300

andathar,

I've noticed from reading your bodog 100K thread (which was awesome by the way... hope you post more of these) that you like to raise slightly below 3xBB in these spots. Any reasoning behind this or just a habit? Is it perhaps part of your intention to keep the pots small?

I got that from Fossilman's posts way back in the day...yes, it's a means of keeping the pot smaller, makes folding to a reraise easier, plus some other things. Search the archives for Greg's post (somebody have the name?)

I also like the smaller raise(225-275). In addition to adanthar's points, I think a smaller raise from UTG tends to represent a monster looking for action and can get folds(or at least calls instead of raises) from tight players with middle pairs.

I would really like to read that Fossilman post if someone finds it.
