If I was intending to make a small raise, I'd still make it 600 here; why so small??

cause i am trying to adjust my game 600 is where i would normally raise here but been told my bets and raise are too big

think this is one i got right (i hope) cause for once not having flushy laugh would be a good start

For a 3 bet, I'd raise more in the first hand.  Hand 2 he's showing keen by 3 betting so much, make it a bit more, around 2.4k.

Just what I'd do obv, not necessary correct!

anything is better than i have been doing cause i am getting royally fucked

[Royal Flush]

2nd one i like.

First one is way to small, make it at the least 640 but probs 720, although i prefer a flat more than a 3b.

[Longy]

Iron just have a standard raise size and stick to it.

My raise sizing in tourneys is as follows.

Opening 2.5x and adding 1bb for each limper, if i am 3betting making it 3x the open.

this bascially.

[Royal Flush]

Typically i 3x my opens pre antes, and 2.5x with antes.

3b size i tend to 3b 3x pre antes and smaller after the antes depending on my position.

why smaller post-antes? seems strange as obv you're giving much better odds. unless its just because stacks are shallower?

[outragous76]

in part you are more likely to be stealing - therefore number of attemts v's number of sucesses if fewer

eg

blinds are 1000 2000 200 10 handed therefore pot  = 5k pre

2.5x  = 5k
3x = 6k

at 2.5x only 1 in 2 raises needs to be sucessful to be break even
at 3x 2/3 needs to be successful (& will show a minor gain)

That said bearing in mind no-one raise folds with < 20bb's nowadays this is prob less relevant

however the smaller raise size is more relevant as people are more likely to be reshoving therefore you are less exposed

[The Camel]

Typically i 3x my opens pre antes, and 2.5x with antes.

3b size i tend to 3b 3x pre antes and smaller after the antes depending on my position.

This is back to front surely.

Raise more with antes less without.
