t120, usually. But t90 is ok too.

150. 2x limpers + 3x BB

t150 is a bit aggro here I think. There's only one limper and the reason you raise with AK is to get it heads up. I can see where Scuba is coming from with t90, because it should be enough to fold the blinds. However, you also raise so that anyone calling with a lesser A is charged the most, so I'm not sure t90 is enough to achieve that goal, unless you feel comfortable they'll call a lot of bets post-flop with Axx on the board.

I do around 105-115, i like it.

Sciolist · #8 12-02-2005, 09:04 AM

I bet 3x plus 1x per limper. I know some people like to make it 2x per limper, I'm just more comfortable with one. I also sometimes make it 4x as a "base" value in the first couple of limits.

90 about 75% of the time; 120 the other times.

I'm more inclined to bet 120 if the button/blinds are loose.

I'd pot it for 135 typically (so anywhere from 120-150 seems fine, but I'm inclined to bet >135 rather than less). I'm sure you're getting at the awkwardness of your stack size after you put in a decent raise and miss the flop. If called, I almost always move in on the flop in these instances, unless there are way too many players that call and see the flop.
