NLTRN hypothetical situation
 

You are playing a standard opponent who isn't ubertight and hasn't made any crazy/donkish plays so far. He limps on the button a lot though. You are 15-20 hands in and have equal stacks.

You've raised the last two pots and taken them down uncontested. If this is standard for you lagtards, make it 3 or 4 in a row. Now, opp limps and you look down at KQ or whatever is a borderline raising hand for you OOP. Do you still raise, given you've raised the last few hands?

I typically raise a much smaller range, as I find it difficult to figure out if opp is reraising light or not, but I'm not sure if this is standard.

Second question - what if you are the limper, do you give people more or less credit the third time they raise?

1.)Raise
2.)Less credit that's why I raise again!

They talk about this in mathematics of poker.

They use calcs obviously to figure it out, but if an opponent raises the first hand of the match it is more likely he's raising a ton than if he folds the first hand of the match (he is more likely to be a tighter player). The larger sample you have the less margin of error you can factor into your decision making.

I think most people ignore the first 5 hands of a match unless villain has raised like 5-10x each time. I think this is a semi leak in a lot of players. I may be wrong, but it should probably factor more into people's decisionmaking if villain raised 3 of the first 5 buttons or whatever, than if he did 1 of the first 5. Nothing to dramatically change things, but it's the difference in a lot of situations that are semi close in your mind that come up early.
