Ai or raise smaller for value?

I raise to 22$.

[Capone]

I'd raise to 27.

[Knuckles]

I am raising to 25 here, but I don't have any magic formula that I am using.

[Capone]

lol

Ahh...I like to shove a lot cause people don't like to fold, but I don't think it's good here. 3 tens is so easily noticable and there just isn't much you could have that a pair of Q's beats. I'd make it like 30 (which also might be a little big) but I make it big a lot I think...I really like to go ahead and try to get everything I can (if he folds a couple of times maybe I start making it smaller in similar situations.)

Explain please... I could use a laugh. Or is just cause evryone is giving like the same advice and just picking a slightly different number?

[Capone]

Exactly :P. Everyone is saying to raise but I find it funny how they are stumbled between 20-30.

[iwa]

I think that is the humor behind this sitaution.

[wulfpacker21]

i raise 22-27 at most cause u do want a call and maximize this pot

[Capone]

exactly 27

[iwa]

I probably raise small, hes probably on a draw or has a weak queen. Derp!
