Default $6.50 - 75/150 raise KQo on BTN with healthy stack?

Is this a pretty standard rasing spot? 375-400 sound good??

Thoughts? I'm really bad at the middle blind levels with how much I should be opening up.

If you are confident about your post flop play, you can open up to 375. I would be more likely to do this against tight opponents.

I like raising here a lot, I'd make it 375.

Well, when I played 6.50s, I didn't raise this because there was close to zero fold equity preflop, but actually it's pretty fine to just raise this for value.
You got very nice hand and position.
Just don't make the pot too big, that's why 375 is neat.

just shove it. Youre raising from the button at a 6.50, so many donks at the 6.50s will come over the top of your raise with such crap.

You cannot seriously be suggesting not playing this hand?

i like 375. i also like these steal bets often against passive donks how will either fold preflop or on the flop if they dont have at least to pair. this works much better than pushing. often they will flat call with two big cards and you take away the pot with a cbet and nothing on the flop where you would ve gone broke when you had pushed.

I'm playing this hand all the time b/c I can play postflop, but some can't and might find it tricky (especially against blinds that defend alot) so it might be better for these weak/tight players to muck.

I'm not opening much wider than this on the btn tho.
