I'm a bit concerned that when we are playing to steal we are raising a different amount than when we are playing to commit.

pOkerboy,

agree 100% you should only vary your preflop raise sizes if you can get away with it. the SPR manipulation of bet sizing stuff is written for easy/loose live and microstakes games. that was very explicit before we cut the volumes up; now volume 1 just says a couple times if your opponents will figure you out don't do it. what is missing is the introductory material for planning hands, which is the stealing vs. making the best hand, playing for small pots, etc. that is now page 1 of volume 2.

neither Sunny nor I vary from early or middle position in online games, although we sometimes use a dichotomous strategy of limp or raise.
