i agree to some degree. i didnt say I always bet the same size, either. but remember, this was a "nwebie" question.

the new guy needs to take a couple of variables out of his game while he plays the donkeys at lower stakes. the new guy should focus on one strategy at a time, until he has a little confidence in said strategy.

of course, you should "mix up" your bet sizes to remain unpredictable. betting small. or better yet, checking your AA post flop to induce a bluff can be a great "move" when used in the right places. however, i dont expect the newer player to understand when is the right time to "mix it up." most of the experienced players realize how big a gamble slow-playing AA post flop is, too.

all i said was when you are new, keep the goofy stuff off the table until you understand when and why you need to do something goofy.
