I've been thinking that I raise by too small amounts. I'm considering to make a rule when I raise:

Raise 3 big blinds plus 1 blind for every limper. This could also be applied to reraising I suppose. If the raise/reraise is more than 50% of my pot, push all in.


What do you guys think? it is going to create much bigger pots, and help my tight aggressive style. I find that I'm not making enough chips fast enough so this may help. There is a catch to it though, when I try to do continuation bets I have to put a lot more money into the pot, it is a risky style.

 3-4bb + 1bb for every limper is the standard advice given by every successful microstakes winner I've come across, and it certainly works for me. So yes, do it. ALL the time. Don't even bother open-limping...call others' bets/raises, yes, but don't be the first to call.
