I was reading an article on Betting Patterns by Joe Benik and he suggested that all raises preflop should be the same demonination ( 3 x BB ). He said that those who vary preflop bets tend to fall into patterns that can be picked up. I can see where he is coming from but still believe that varying raise amounts presents more of a problem for players to read and typically range from 3-4.5 x BB, depending more on position rather than my actual hand. I was wondering what you guys thought.
