Scruffy ... there is no hard and fast rule it depends on what your reads are on your opponent(s) and your table image. For AK 3 to 5 BB is reasonable. However if you are up against a LAG player you have more reason to raise higher. Against a tight player keep it lower as they will not commit their chips needlessly ie you want them to call you with a weaker hand but if they reraise they probably have a monster (think AA KK QQ).

Also your image comes into play... do they see you as loose or tight...aggressive or not?

Chip stacks also come into play as if someone is short they may push all in with a weaker hand than they would normally.

Lastly the tournament type may also come into play. In a rebuy people may play looser as they can rebuy as opposed to a freeze out. In a freeroll anything goes....expect to get called with any two cards depending on the opponent and dont be surprised when your pocket aces get cracked by 72o.

Remember in poker you win when other people make mistakes. We have all had monster hands beaten by rubbish but this is the exception rather than the rule.

My advise would be to get some decent tracking software like Poker Tracker and use it to analyse where the holes in your game are. Plug them and keep playing good poker.
