LOL, that is not the point of the question, that is what was bet, make your play from his allin bet.

It should also not include the...well if the flop was two suited...then, or if it was all three suited...then..etc.

Now, on to your recommendation (5xBB)

At 1/2 blinds, 5.00 is 2.5xBB - I am assuimg you are looking at it this way, as I am too. You raise 5xBB? What would ever justify raising 5xBB. Is it only to get callers from AA? Or when you have AA to get everyone to fold?


Making 5xBB is a horrible play in almost any situation (excluding micro's). I would assume that you are making that with only AA and KK, so why would anyone call you when you raise with that?

If you make 5xBB as a standard raise, you are betting WAY to much money preflop for your raising hands, blind stealing hands, bluffing hands.

You can say...well I would mix up your betting amounts preflop, to keep them guessing. That would mean you would have to bet more than 5xBB in situations???? Huh, what would ever constitute that?

Making a standard raise and generally sticking to it would be the most profitable move in the long run. Mixing it up judging on the game can work as well, but a 5xBB raise as a general rule of thumb - which is what I took for the reply - is nowhere near the most profitable play. Especially if you only make that move with AA and KK. No one would ever call your 1in110 raise of 5xBB. While I would agree that if it is your standard raise, people would probably call, but if it is - you would be broke pretty quickly.


Just my thoughts
