Re: Live NL pre-flop raise sizing
You are correct that generally the pf raise size live is much bigger.
You can't just stick with your preset amount. If you do that, you find yourself with AA in a 6-handed pot. And I guarantee you that the action on the flop is going to make your AA shrivel right up.
Here is a example hand. One of my first hands at a new 1/2 NL table was KK in CO. UTG+1 raise to $10, call, call, me raise to $50 and three calls. I have $150 behind and a $203 pot. No A, UTG bet $50, I shove, get two calls. Both have A8 on a 8 6 2 board. Case 8 comes on the river. I have to excuse myself since this was right after lunch and I only brought $200, duh..
