i dunno how you guys can say it’s trying too hard, maybe it is, but I like to sometimes 2.5 open instead of 3x and I hate min raising in full handed tables.
if i open $12 from btn and get 1 caller the pot is $26. 1/2 pot bet on flop and turn ($13+ $26) means river is $104 and I have invested $12 + $13 + $26 = $51 leaving me $449 if I was full stacked going into the hand.
at 3x:
pot is $32 on flop, $62 on turn, $122 on river. my investment is $15 + $15 + $30 = $60. now i am $440 w a $122 pot. that gives me ~3.6 stack to pot ratio compared to 4.3 if i had opened $12 like in the other hand. that diff is larger if i rounded up instead of down on my bet sizing in the $5 hand
that’s not insignificant really but w/e. to each their own.
Idk if you’re joking but I just bring $100s 99% of the time.
2/5 I’m going to the cage and if it’s 1k max it’s ~800 in greens, ~300 in reds and ~500 in blacks for adding on.
