and doesn't NLTAP recommend varying your preflop raise amounts.. ?

Actually, this standard naturally leads to varying your PF amount. That's kind of the beauty of it. When you raise it to 6bb with 2 limpers and 9bb with 5 limpers... I don't think most observers realize why your bet size is varying. So you have some deception.

This is true but it's not what NLTAP advocates - and for lots of reasons, but mostly cos NLTAP was not written with microstakes in mind I say ignore NLTAP and stick to the 4BB+1 standard.

I'm pretty sure as well that many of my opponents can't quite figure out why my preflop raise amounts change a little here and there - I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the modicum of deception this formula gives me as well.
