Re: Open Raise 10BB?

You're taking less risk of losing more money, but taking more risk of losing the hand. Raise a 1/2 game to $6 and get 1 caller, and you can expect the rest of the table to call after that. They're only looking at the growing pot, not any sign of strength from your raise. Now you have 7 to the flop and your chances of winning just took a nosedive, but yeah, you're only risking $6...

Raising to get people to fold is good. Raising more and getting the same # of callers -- increases variance (and the pot size, of course).

You won't get more if you raise more. Raise 6X BB in most places and you'll thin the table quite a bit. If that isn't happening then adjust or switch tables. Maybe you just stumbled onto a table with 7 LAGs? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
