Cash Game bet sizing debate
Hi
Something to debate and vote on regarding cash play...
What size of raise do you tend to prefer when you are opening with a raise?
Obviously this could be hand and situation influenced (feel free to add this) but what do you tend to prefer?

Definately do not riaase more with your big hands, or less with your weaker ones. It is a huge tell to anyone paying attention. It is the same with these people that think limping PP's is good in case they get a raise after them. Sorry, but you might as well put out a big sign sayiing what you are doing.
2x bb raise is not overly good either unless maybe you want action, as certainly the BB is going to be curious to call with a lot of hands due to the price he gets to look at the flop. You can't be worse than 5:1 preflop, and so giving them 3:1 means they going to call fair amount of the time. Or if they're, Gus Hansen, it's 100% of the time.
