The higher the blinds are, generally the smaller my preflop raise ( I read something today from flushy that suggests that might be wrong anyway ). So if I was 1st in , I'd normally put in 2500, and hope for a reraise from someone in late position.
Obviously I can't limp, so I want to make it large enough that UTG has to push or fold. Did I make it too small a raise ? 15x bb seems far to much to push preflop, even with antes, or it that the way to go at these stakes ?
And once the flop came, is the push the only move ? Is it even the correct move, or is there any way this is foldable to any action ?
My logic goes something like : he should have called with suited connectors or something, hoping to hit. Or maybe a pair hoping to hit trips. Maybe AKs or AQs.
So unless he's got AJ with a dodgy preflop call, or JJ or 22 in which case good luck to him, otherwise I'm still ok.
A few weeks ago I'd see this, tut a little and just move on. But now I'm getting paranoid. Is it me ?
It's a turbo, there are 18 left out of 90

I can only play micro limits at the moment coz my bankroll is pathetically shrivelled ( and I probably don't have the skills to play much higher anyway

) which is ok when the cards are falling for you, but when you're on one of those break even / losing runs it can get to be soul destroying.
The perrenial problem of the worse your luck runs, the worse you play. So I've taken a couple of days off and come back to this.
