Fayth    Canada. Nov 06 2007 23:22. Posts 10085 i really don't see the point, you'll just get to play AA in a multiway pot more often than not by raising 3bb Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy

Pillars   United States. Nov 06 2007 23:27. Posts 1049 Well, AA, and 22, and T9s, sure. Are you suggesting 4BB from UTG and UTG+1, and 3BB elsewhere or something?

Fayth    Canada. Nov 06 2007 23:31. Posts 10085 yeah i'd suggest 4bb utg and utg+1 Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy

There are plenty of folks who believe that it's best to raise *smaller* the closer to UTG you are to keep pots small when you're OOP. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying your suggestion to raise larger UTG and UTG+1 needs some type of argument to back it up, else it's just another opinion among many... Personally I feel like either amount is fine in 6-max, assuming you're first to open. 3BB gives you more room to maneuver with pre-flop raises, and encourages most post-flop play if you're flat-called. It's also a nice amount if you raise fairly aggressively, as getting 3-bet will be less painful.
