    Default Shorthanded Pre Flop Bet

    I need to pre flop raise more..MY PT stats (6Max) are around PFraies-5 and I want to at least double it... With preium hands I have no trouble PF Raising 3-4BB. Its those J-10 off suits that I become unsure of the PF raise.

    Would I be right to always PF raise the same anount..And is there a preference of 3 or 4 BB as a general rule?

    I wouldnt raise J10o. Try hands a little better. A10+, KJ+, etc.. Throw in suited one gappers or 78s+

    I like to raise 4BB every hand I raise, 3BB gets called too often.

    Yea, I don't vary my raises much unless there are a lot of people in the pot, or I have shitty position.

    TJo isnt a raising hand unless your opponents are pussies. You can raise anything if they are because they'll only play back when your beat so its pretty easy.

    On Party $25 NL tables you better raise $2 (8 BB) or you will have a hell of a time with Q3o and K6o calling your 4BB raise. With $2 raise you know the callers at least have pp or something more playable. So when a flop of K62 rainbow falls you can almost rule out 2 pair.
