HUSNGs -- SB Raise Sizes
Say you've got 1500 chips during Level 2. You're the SB and elect to raise.
Option 1: Raise to 60. I've seen a lot of very successful players minraise and they do it very well. I've seen whahahah do this in a $5k. Can you explain why you chose to do this against that Tereken fella?
Option 2: Raise to 75. I've been experimenting with this rather than to 90. I find a lot of players will treat it the same as raising to 90, plus when the blinds go to 25/50 you can raise to 125 more liberally, which can be very profitable. On the flop, the pot will be 150 and you can bet 90 as a c-bet.
Option 3. Raise 3x. Pretty standard among players. Pot will be 180 on the flop, a c-bet will usually be 90 or 120.
Option 4: Raise 4x. I don't see many profitable players doing this. I generally see it as inflating the pot too much and making your life very difficult postflop. The pot on the flop will be 240 and you have to bet 120 to 180 to c-bet.
What's your choice and why?
