I think you're really missing how important it is to bet a prime number.

On the 109s and 215s I'd make it t100.
On the lower buyins I probably would've made it t120+

Am i the only one that thinks the buy in is important?

11-22 200
33-55 150
109 125

ish

buy-in very important - t200 sounds a bit high to me for 11s-22s but I know the angle there as you might get 5 callers with a t90 bet! I think t125 is enough to weed out the real donks and get a little action and also to give you fold equity to someone with AA KK going all-in

150. 2x limpers + 3x BB

100-110 makes it way easier to c-bet.

usually: 90-150, depending on the limper

sometimes: all of it, depending on more stuff

For those of you who are betting t150 here, what are you doing in the very common scenario that just limper calls, rags flop, and you're checked to?

It seems to me that our stack size sucks for this big of a raise.

This is a $33 buyin if that matters to you.

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.

Are you saying you go all in on the flop with an unimproved AKo at a full table at level 2?

If I only have one caller, definitely. Pot will be ~300 at that point and I don't have much more than that left in my stack. If there are more callers or someone makes a big bet first, probably not.

I push (see above). No reason to think your ace/king high isn't good, and most people will probably fold smaller pairs. Even if you raise less, a c-bet will still suck as it will look much weaker than a push, and your stack size will really be crappy if you get called on your weak looking bet. I prefer to put max pressure on preflop when I have a weak-ish stack and AK, and then move in regardless unless the action or the flop gets ugly.
