Re: Stars 3r, 66 in SB facing raise
[ QUOTE ]
With short stacks late a 2.5-3x raise can often get you the same results as a 4x raise and risks less of your stack. Also, 4x raise is often a strength tell, unless that is for some reason his standard raise. [/ QUOTE ] My question is less about reading other players, and more to help size my own raises late on. Are you not giving people better odds once antes are in with a 2.5*BB raise? Or is the key factor proportion of stack?

[/ QUOTE ] If that's true in general, then one could just re-raise a small raise because it shows weakness, and fold to a bigger raise because it shows strength. I usually increase my raise to 4x when the antes kick in to offer worse odds. Sometimes I drop it down to 3 or 2.5 if the hand is pretty strong or pretty weak. Usually I am not playing against specific opponents long enough that I figure I have to mix up raises for deception. The flip-side is that I can't really be certain about their raises either. Edit: BTW, this is just the way I have been doing it. I don't say it the best way.
