Raising preflop in poker

Posted:27.05.2010, 01:54

Hey guys what if I consider to making a rule when I raise:
I mean I raise 3 big blinds and a 1 blind for each limper. I believe this could also be applied to reraising. If the raise/reraise is above 50% of my pot, shove all in.

Will this create much bigger pots, and facilitate my stretched aggressive approach? Well, I realize that I am not making adequate chips prompt enough so this may be of assistance. As I practice persistence bets I realized it is risky to place more cash into the pot.

BlackJackBob, Hello. Poker is too complicated to say this is the correct play... sometimes it will be and sometimes not. You have to be aggressive to win at poker, that is one thing that is always true. I like small raises with suited connectors that play well against many opponents... If you have a made hand like AA, you want fewer opponents.

When i get a good hand, i also use to raise 3 big blinds. Not always exatcly this amount but it's about it. It also depends on my position.

Basically it is a standard raise, but plays should always be varied. 3x the big blind will encourage callers.

You should raise for 3-5 times the big blind, but if you are in a late position, you should be aggressive to force them to fold their cards.
