I think you played it fine. I hate raising to 100+ preflop here. Unlike many here I don't assume all players at the 22s are total retards. You could raise up to 90 though, but I'm fine with 75. [/ QUOTE ] Correct, not all players are "total retards," but enough are to make the raise worthwhile. |

Most of the time the only thing hero picks up with a massive overraise is the pittance that is already in the pot. From time to time a donk calls or pushes. With a smaller raise you will get a lot of calls you actually want. Ie, solid or semi-solid players with JJ/TT. Players with AJ/AT who want to see a flop etc. I am not scared to death about seeing a flop three handed with AA. At least not so scared that I will make a massive overbet panic raise preflop. |

Of course if I have spotted players making huge mistakes in level 1 I can raise more but against a standard 22 table I think in the long run it is better to avoid bets that have the subtlety of a fog horn. Not because of the donks that call. I don't lose much by having them call a raise to 80 instead of 150 because they are likely to continue making mistakes postflop. But I lose a lot when someone with 99-JJ/AJ/AQ doesn't call a 150 bet but are willing to call an 80 bet. I see a bet of 115 or 150 preflop here as a way to trying to implement the pushbot mentality even in level 1. I don't know if it is because people here are genuinely uncomfortable with postflop play or if they truly think they will earn more chips in the long run that way. I might add I don't mind 2+2ers or other solid players making the massive overraise here. It has gotten me out of trouble with AK/JJ and even sometimes QQ lots of times in level 1. |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't get why you think a somewhat larger raise is overkill. My usual raise preflop is 3-4xBB + limpers. Here 4xBB would be 60 + 3 limpers for 15 each is 45 for a total of 105. With this many limpers + people to act after you including the blinds, I think you're going to get at least 1 call. Especially at the 22's. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree many will think that way, but with so many limpers, blinds, etc. I also think one or more will think, "Ugh, raise to 90, well I can't fold my AQ." |
