Why are u raising to 4xbb + 1 per limper ? Just make it the standard 3xbb + 1 per limper.

I like postflop.

Nitpicking an extra blind raise is silly. 1 caller at 100 &gt; 2 callers at 80. Whole hand is fine.

Re: 16$ : AQ early in BTN facing one limper
 

Hand looks good. In this situation I like the raise to 100, I really want one caller, not two. I also think you are just about always ahead on the river, so I am betting whatever I think he will call. Villain's line is so passive, and there is nothing I can think of that checks the river there and has you beat.

So you think 4bb+1xlimper is good in early levels ? I might actually try this.

It probably doesn't make that much of a huge difference. I like to vary my raise sizing just bc sometimes.

I bet something like 250-300 on the river to get some more value, but looks good otherwise. If he's got AK, it's a weird way to play it, and I don't think he checks trip tens three times generally.

It depends on who is behind, etc., and I like to mix it up, however I raise to 100 mostly because I am always raising to 100 with JJ+ here.

Re: 16$ : AQ early in BTN facing one limper
 

River is more debatable than preflop. I like 300.
