Message: [QUOTE="diabloblanco, post: 330930, member: 4734"] I just use the 3 time or 4 times the BB as a general reference, depending on the table I may go a bit higher or lower to try and draw more chips. Also, Michele, in lots of situations a raise is specifically designed to run people out of the pot, but sometimes you want to keep people in and not scare them off. While taking down a pot without showing down your hand is a risk-free venture, stringing a few limpers along for one more street can earn you some extra chips. And XD, I agree with the notion that if you're gonna play, get in there and raise. Good advice. And while this, as with everything alse in NLHE, is relative to action before its your turn to act, I was just trying to get a real general concensus. But you are 100% correct, action such as raises before your position make bringing in some hands less desireable. And as far as my limping hand (AK), I do that seldom and only to see a chep flop and hope to improve. [/QUOTE]
