Cash: Pre-flop raise issue
Hi all.
I've been quite successful on SNGs but I'm trying to make the transition to cash tables. So far I'm not doing too bad but I'm unsure if the amount I raise pre-flop is ok.
I generally raise 3x but people are able to play more deep in cash games so I'm wondering if I should open with a larger amount... maybe 4x or 5x?
At the minute I'm playing low limit cash games and there seems to be a lot of loose players who call a lot. Would raising to a larger amount help?
Cheers.

It will tell you all you need about beating low stakes cash, and focuses a lot on pre flop raising amounts. I can assure you that if i hadn't posted this link, then someone else would have done! Good luck, see you at the tables.
4x is enough at 10nl usually, unless the table is really fishy then bet your big hands 5x.
3x is usually my prefered raise size at 20nl+, but i will change it dependant on the table, the players, my hand and my position.
