My theory is that if a player's holding is weak enough to fold to a preflop pot raise, then it's probabaly weak enough to fold to a less chunky bet. Even if they do call the smaller raise, they are showing weakness by not raising and are vulnerable to being bluffed off the pot by the suiperior postioned raiser.

Trying this in a 6 handed PLH tourney tonight. started raising to 2.5x BB during the early stages and am now raising min (to 2x) in the later stages. It seems to be working well  |

Sounds like a worthy experiment. Tricky part is not doing it too much and working out which blinds to target.

On a break now. 42 left, 177 started, 20 get paid. Only problem was my good hands (AK, AJ, AJ) got called in several spots and missed.  |

It worked very well actually - people were still folding to the raises.
I found it kept the pots smaller and so easier to steal or pass if you have to.
It felt I could use the chips you were given a lot more effectively than raising 3-4 BB.
Towards the later stages I think you have to change again and start raising more otherwise you always get called by big stacks.

The "small raises" syndrome is also Richard Gryko's style, ditto Anthony Lellouche, the young, but nice as it happens, Frog.
It works very well for Gryko, but it only woks if you can "play" well down the streets. Very irritating to play against, but nice if you catch a hand, as someone else has done the raising for you.

I was picking up most pots uncontested sometimes getting called in 1 place - just like raising a bigger amount but risking much less.

Slightly off topic, but I believe Gary Jones really is a superb commentator of TV comps.

I thought Roy the Boy was out of order commentating on last nights Poker Million. Always goes to far in his criticism.
