Narious   Canada. Aug 26 2006 20:55. Posts 4800 at 5NL my standard raise was 6BB +1 per limper after the first.

Raid   United States. Aug 26 2006 21:25. Posts 318 Dunno. That's just the way I used to do it, cuz I was running into the same problem whenever I got AA/KK (someone with rags would call me and flop two pair, a straight, or worse). I figured I was better off if everyone folded than if the whole damned table called me (due to a preflop raise that was too small to discourage all but the strongest hands from calling). I don't know the odds, but, isn't it extremely difficult to win a hand with AA if you're called by four or more people? Again, at that level, I found I could not consistently reduce the field to just a few callers unless I raised it up to at least 25 times the big blind.
