Re: How do you apply the 10xbb rule in a pot limit tournament?
The other poster gave the way to calculate max bet in general. One useful particular, open raise is 3.5xBB, +1 BB for every limper. If someone else open raises, no callers to you, and you repot, you make it 12xBB.
With < 8xBB, both you and your opponents are committed to putting the rest in postflop, so I don' think there's much difference. With 8-12, if they just call your open, you probably can pull a pseudo stop and go when you put the rest in. I'm just thinking out loud, haven't played much PLHE.
You also might want to ty to limp reraise some of your stronger pushing hands, 88-TT, AQ, AK... not a bad thing to see a flop if it limps around, and may induce a raise from an over under hand to your pair that is then committed, or a dominated ace. Probably wouldn;t want to try this with weaker pairs because it is too easy to accidentally end up in a race versus a stealing hand.
