This is one of the reasons, along with the ranges (normally) being better defined, that 1/2 pot is kinda standard in 3b pots.
Stop thinking in terms of how many times his bet you are raising to, this is irrelevant. If he bet 0.05 into 1.25, would it make any sense for you to raise only to 0.30, even though this is 6 times his bet? Look at how much you bet/raise in relation to the pot, this is the proper way.
You're right, it's so fucking dumb and I don't know why I do it. Thanks for the advice.
Talking about raises in relation to the pot, will the typical 2NL/5NL player not be thinking that it's just a massive raise, showing pure strength and fold out hands that may have called a smaller raise? I'm not sure how many 2/5NL players know about raising in relation to pot size and even working out what a PSR is?
