    Default Do funny raises get more action?

    When I play MTTs I like to have a little fun so I never raise in increments of 3x or 4x the bb and my wife thinks this might get me too much action. For instance w/ blinds of 25/50 I raise to 222 and 50/100 I raise to 333 and blinds of 100/200 I raise to 666 and 200/400 I raise to 1111...you get the idea.

    I know this is a very general question because of the details that usually go into MTTs, but what do you think?

    doubt it
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    A better question (unless you're making them specifically with that as the goal) is why do you want to make funny raises? You should generally have a reason for betting whatever amount you're betting. I can give reasons that these might be a good bet to make, and reasons they wouldn't, but it will do you much more good to consider the potential impact and pluses/minuses yourself. What do you think?

    For some reason I tend to make silly bets if I'm the Laggy big stack at the table. I guess it might make them think twice about playing back at me.
