I saw a lot of ppl do it in medium/high stakes (nl)

Is 4x standard in cash?

If site has a bet pot button standard is 3.5BB + 1bb per limper (Pot).

If not I would say it is 4xBB.

its standard for me. I use the same as alex, 4+limpers

i do 3.5x and then usually either add 1bb or .5 bb's per limper, depending on the table and stuff. i dont have a set method, just generally raise more when more people limp. like if i had aces i wouldnt raise 4x after 5 limpers, thats asking to lose.


in a tournament i might consider an open raise to 2.5x or 3x, but thats a tournament

i dont know. i dont ever like to say, i raise 4x, 3.5x, 3x, 2.5x because i do them all depending on the situation. i think its best to keep your opponents guessing (as im sure you hear all the time; like i do). for me, i have found some real success in being straight-forward, ie. limp w/ 86o in position with other limpers, 2x w/ 98s, 3x w/ aq, 4x with nice cards like JJ+. facing limpers with the intention of raising is another story. are you going for value w/ your JTs or weeding out ajo w/ TT or 99? a whole session does not one hand make. remember what you show down and how you did it and how your opponents might read your 4x raise in the future.
