Default Re: (55) overpair in 50-way pot

[ QUOTE ]
I am aware the majority of the time we don't get this sort of party with a raise to 45, but if you get it HU or 2-way almost just as much as if you raise to 75, why not get the extra chips in?

Problem you don't know whether it will be one way, 6 way or no way when you raise. If you raise to 75 here with QQ you must raise a similar amount with most other hands as well, is that really what you want? Sure it would be nice to have them call for 75 when you have QQ and only invest 45 when you have 88 but you become predictable if you stick to that.

Personally I think mixing it up is best. Raise 45, 55. 65, 75, 85 whatever. Sometimes even a raise of 175 or even god forbid raise allin works well. Not to suggest allin is the play, rather saying that that there is no black and white right or wrong amount to raise period.

You both play good doing it your way and you're both winning so you're both right.
