Re: Live NL pre-flop raise sizing
The majority of your opponents will have no idea about pot size raises preflop or 3 betting to isolate. They do what those around them do, and you can exploit it. The average pf raise is at my local room is 12-15. A reraise usually means JJ-AA or AK, but the players have no idea why they are reraising or how much they should make it.
Friday night I am playing in my regular 1-2 game. I catch AA in the SB in a straddled pot. ($5 straddle with $175 effective stacks). Three callers making it $23 in the pot. I make it $50 to go, the table looks at me like I am an idiot, and I get berated for losing all of my customers. Most of your opponents just won't get it.
