Default Re: Upping my preflop raise %

I had this same problem myself when I looked over my first 10k logged hands. I'm not sure where you are playing, but the diffrences in tables made a huge diffrence to me going from the crypto .25/.50 to the Party .50/1.

It seems that people respect raises and stealing is easier at .50/1, but that might be beacuse I've opened up from a 18/8 with AF of 2.5(when Eeegah owned me a few times at Stars!) to a 20/10 with AF of 2.75.

This article helped a bit as well:

I've been playing the partypoker .5/1.00 rooms, and blinds actually get stolen maybe once every 1000 hands. You rarely get the chance to try it, and when you do, they just call with whatever they've got.

every 1000 hands?

that's very far from the truth.

How can I go about raising my PFR%?

Look for situations as part of your reasons to raise.

would you give an example of this? that is a situation, rather than just a hand.

I had KJs in the small blind today in a Stars .50/1 game. UTG limped, folded to me. Is this worth a value raise given that we'll be 3 or 2 handed, despite poor position?

I raise KJs in the blinds as my default play.

I do as well to take control. I used to hate being OOP. Now I take control, usually only losing to passives who call down with pocket pairs less than the nuts but better than my hand. As I go up in limits those people will have disappeared, but for now that tactic has worked.

I will raise KJs with one limper from the SB about 100% of the time, unless the limper is a known (beyond much doubt) rock.

This is a situation that I believe demands a follow-up bet on the flop, also, regardless of what falls. Anybody got a good situation where you'd raise this preflop and then check the flop?
