Raise much more pre, at least 24p. But it's all going in anyway with your stack anyway.

Don't sit at a table short stacked, if you take a hit and you're down to £2, top up. You'll be glad of it when you get AA and get £4 out of it instead of £2

I should really learn to do that, but this was like 1 or 2 hands after that other hit i took, i was planning on leaving the table cus i was trying to do 3 tables and i couldnt concentrate on em all, so i was about to leave the table when i got KK, then i lost that aswell and i thought to myself im taking a break cus im gonna go on tilt if this keeps up, as for the raise size, i always do the same raise size that way its impossible for them to know what kind of hand i have, always raise the same pre flop, always raise the same amount after the flop, same again on turn, its predertmined so that people cant know how strong my hand is until they have called, or even better raised me

It's Dohhh's guide to small stakes cash and you'll find it very useful. Trust me, you can change your raise sizes at this level and no-one will even blink an eye. Most premium hands that you're going to play (AK,AQ,AJ) raise to 20-24p + 4p per limper + 4p if you're UTG. If you get QQ/KK/AA just put a massive raise in, I'd say minimum of 36p.

People at this level just look at their own cards, so if they've got Q10 and wanna call, they'll call a 40p bet just the same as they will a 24p bet and it won't even enter their mind that it's not your normal raise size. Honestly.

yeah i did read that guide loved reading that guide, except the ammount of people that do fold to the larger raises was really annoying me lol, its as if they could see it wasnt my normal raise xP

sillymunch
