I think this is fine.

I play it the same.

Your play is good here all but one thing. In your last hh you posted with 99 you raised to 1.50 here with kk you raised 2.50 jsut be cautious not to raise the strength of your hand a good opponent will pick up on this.

Fine assuming you are playing a donk.

[BIGFISH72]

Thats a good point Jack. I do admit the raise by $1 was poor with the 9's. I usually raise 3 X BB first in.

When first into the pot with a raise, what should I be raising....... 3 x BB to $2 + 50c for each limper before me or 4 x BB + 50c for each limper??

Whats best and why?

[jack frost]

the standard is 4xbb+ 1 bb per limper but some like to mix it up between 3 and 4 and some like to raise 4 ep and mid then 3 in late ect.......

[effang]

the lines are ok, bet sizing is poor. I make it 10-12 on the flop, and very likely shove the turn since i think he's blocking for the FD, or blocking a weak queen.

this could be QT as well, but you can't with them all.
