Just to add my opinion about raise sizes. In the very early levels I try and raise at least 4x the BB. Mid stages will be 2 1/2X the BB at least. When we are down to last levels 2x the BB is big enough. * Also I like to keep my raise sizes the same at their respective levels but some players do like to mix it up a bit.
* The above raise sizes are not clues to my hand strengths just in case you were wondering

Ignore him Hayley, he might be your captain but when blinds are 200/400 then a minraise is absolutely fine Posted by hhyftrftdr
Hi hhy I object your honour
What is your plan here pre-flop with only 20BB's ?

In Response to Re: Official - TPT (Team Poker Titans) Tribulations & Cashes : I still disagree.....min raising is fine. By raising less it allows us to cbet less. We don't want to inflate the pot too much at this point because 2 out of 3 times we miss the flop. The majority of the time, if somebody is calling a min raise pre then they will also be calling a 3x pre. If we raise 1200 and get called the the pot is at least 2600 meaning realistically a cbet will have to be around 1/2 pot....1300. If we have missed and get some resistance then we have lost 2500 chips If we raise 800 and get called the pot is around 1800 meaning our cbet can be around 900. Again, if we have missed and get resistance we have lost 1700 chips......we need to be preserving chips at this stage of the tournament just as much as we are trying to win them. If we hit we can start inflating the pot anyway. Min raising in the mid/late stages is always best imo (unless there have been limpers). Posted by waller02

Also the cash has been going great ! not been playing as many tables as id like as i think it lowers my edge so i tend to play 3 with an mtt or 2 running along side ! I put 150 aside to play cash and im in 60 quid profit from cash alone so im going to play 4 8 until i reach 500 then ivm going to move up 2 5 10, any1 think this is abit nitty with my roll ?? I have never really had any displin regarding BM so im hoping I i can keep disiplined and grind away !!!!
WD k8lou and waller nice cashes.Keep going with the cash k8lou.Waller stay of the cash tables lol.A royal flush cheered me up a little considering my run bad at moment.
Well done all some nice cashes especially Greggo on your first win and Hayles a great result in the Megastack. Suffering badly with Hay Fever at the moment so I think I'm going to forget poker tonight as it isn't easy to focus when your sneezing every 2 minutes and your eyes are watering. Tissue count so far today 1 kitchen roll and 1 bog roll.
Can i borrow some of those tissues dale.Grrrrrrr.
