What percentage of your opponents do you believe have figured out how you are sizing you raises?

[/ QUOTE ]It doesn't matter as long as it doesn't depend on our hand.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes it does. If our opponents realize we are raising a set amount based on limpers, and they are 2+2'ers, they probably think that we are a 2+2 as well, and will give us more respect.

[/ QUOTE ]

you are overestimating the significance being linked w/these boards.

[ QUOTE ]
If they do not realize we are raising based on limpers, and instead think we are raising based on hand strength, they will give us more action when we raise less, even with a higher quality hand.
Just because we aren't giving away any information doesn't mean that they won't think they are getting information, and if they think they are getting information they might act on it, and if we do not consider that possibility we will not properly interpret their actions.

if they are making use of incorrect info, then this is a very good thing for us. no info is better than bad info

[/ QUOTE ]
Exactly. I'm not saying it is a bad thing if they think incorrect things, but rather we have to interpret their actions in the context of what they think about our hand, if they do think about our hand. If we raise to 4bb with no limpers on the button with 67s and it gets showed down, then next hand raise to 7bb in the c/o after 3 people limped to us with TT, they might think we raise large with our strong vulnerable PP, and next time we raise to 7$, they might try to take the pot away from us if overcards come. Might be thinking too deep for most opponents, but at higher levels and vs some opponents it is something to consider about your table image.
