Default Re: Raise 3.5*bb or 4*bb PF in cash games

[ QUOTE ]

Because when I think about it I think that raising 4*bb is more +EV, since you will get a bigger pot on the flop when you take it down with a Con. bet and it will be easier to make a pot big when you have a big hand etc.

A bigger pot usually takes a bigger continuation bet. You may take down a bigger pot, but you'll also lose more when you don't.

Also, bigger pots make it easier for your opponents when they have big hands as well, unless you believe you will fold correctly more often than they will.
