Re: Slansky- Preflop raises should differ based on the hand
[ QUOTE ]
3. make bigger raises against players who fold too much postflop, and 4. the opposite of 3
I agree with this but it has nothing to do with hole cards.

actually it has a whole lot to do w/ what cards you have vs. this type of player. You might wanna raise w/ small pairs or suited connecters big vs. this player since they will fold incorectly on the flop more. when you have AA, usually their folds will be correct.
vs. the bad players you speak of, you might want to raise small with small pairs and suited connectors, building a pot. Then it will stay multiway, and you'll likely have built a very large pot if you hit. With AA or KK vs. these loosies you'll wanna make a big pot right away, hopefully heads up. OF course this works best when the players are really bad, and can't catch on.
But even against decent, thninking players, as long as you mix up, and randomize your amounts some, you can still vary your raises on your cards and not give much, if anything away. You don't base it solely on your cards, but your cards should be one factor you consider when choosing the size.
