PP-standard size of bets preflop

[Phill S]

ok, i know the 3BB rule, and i know its not right in most of the levels.

So, what do people opening raise preflop at what levels. so far ive been betting:

level 1, 75
level 2, 120
level 3, 150
level 4, 250
level 5, 500
level 6, 700

obviously, i push if im short, and ive never been at level 7 or above where i wasnt pushing due to the blinds simply being so big.

is this bad? should i bet bigger earlier? bigger later? smaller ever?

help appreciated.

of course it depends, silly.

when you've had a limpfest and you have Aces, you need to re-RAISE maybe t125. If you're early position and notice the same, maybe t100 is good, maybe less if its an extremely tight table.

[Phill S]

this is for open raises, as i stated.

i understand if there are limpers or raisers, your raise is different. i have no problem there, just want to know what a good open raise is.

[Maulik]

I still think what I said has some merit, depending on how tight or passive any particular table happens to be.
Otherwise 3bbl + a few chips for the sake of varying my bets is how I usually approach the raises.


the 3bb is fine, and yours too are fine, any deviation from that should be for tight/passive tables

brilliant

I raise significantly more than this at really loose tables. I find that at the 5 and 10 dollar tables and somewhat at the 20's in the early levels nobody will fold anything for less than a 100 chip raise.

I'm not a fan of these huge oversized raises that people here seem to recommend.

[Phill S]

im not either. but im not a fan of seeing a flop 5 handed when holding AA in level 1.

im not decided, so i guess its suck it and see and if it needs tweaking, ill cross that bridge when i see it.

thanks for the input guys.

I just get em to commit

He ended up calling with KQo, so yeah there's still plenty of donks at the $20's.
