Hello all,

I am sure this has a lot of "depends" answers but what is the proper amount to reraise when someone min bet or bets a small amount into a big pot say like a 1/4 or a 1/3.

Lets asume that we feel our hand is best or at least in the lead.

Is it best or "normal" to reraise his bet 3 or 4 X or...reraise based on the pot size say 3/4 or Pot. This is of course when we are not going AI?

Heads up I ususally raise 3 or 4 x for value.
With other callers or caller behind I will usually bet bigger to take it down right there.

Any thoughts?
Why is it a penny for your thoughts but
you have to put your 2 cents in??

Somebody's making a penny!!

It depends on what you want to do. If you have TPTK then you just want the bet to be commiserate with the pot size. In that case I raise it to 1/2 - 2/3 pot.

If I have something where I want to play for stacks then I likely go for pot size or more.
Stakes: Playing $0.10/$0.25 NL

Say somebody leads $10 into a $40 pot with a lot of money behind and I'm very confident I have the best hand, bumping it up to $50 or so is usually pretty good. That's a 2/3 pot raise.

Really situation dependant though...

If someone leads 10 into a 40, then your 50 raise is full pot, not 2/3.

someone leads 10 into 40 pot, pot is now 50, it would be 60 after my call, 2/3 raise on top is 40 more, plus the call is 50. 2/3 pot raise.

yes, that's how it works.

I'm raise more out of position, than in position. I want to create an inflection point earlier when OOP.

Not quite, heads-up, if you have to call a full pot bet, you have to call for 33%.. if you have to call a 2/3 pot bet, you have to call for 28.5%.. and here villain has to call $40 into what will be a $140 pot or 28.5%. So it is indeed the equivalent of making him call a 2/3 pot bet.

My bad, I read it as if you were raising 50, not 40

I think you mean that I was just raising to the amount that was already in the pot, thinking that's what a pot raise is (like most people).

amirite?
