Re: Basic Theory - Raising preflop
Great thread. I'm primarily a $10-$20 SNG and MTT player, but have started to play a little cash (.10/0.25) too. Good results so far on a small sample - I've been surprised at how poor some of the play is, even compared with low level SNGs.
I have to admit I've been using the tournie standard 3xbb plus 1 per limper so far so this thread is very +ev for me.
I'd always adhered to the using a standard raise in all situations until recently but am starting to vary my bets more. I'm likely to use higher raises in early position where I really hate not having two or more people act behinf me post-flop. For example, I have JJ in MP1. I will raise more than my standard because I hate being out of position when a Q, K or A flops and I have to give it up by checking or risk a c-bet.
I'm not worried about people picking up information from me at this level.
