DON - Pick your raise size

[Nakamura]

I'm bored. Let's play a game.

Imagine Hero is playing in an interesting and stimulating Double or Nothing game (OK, stretch your imagination). Hero wakes up with AA in a LP (Sorry, can't insert fancy looking cards because the card images still aren't working!)

Imagine Hero is facing a raise to 90 chips from an EP against one of three opponents.

Player A - 9/6 over 300 hands. Very tight opening range (Probably JJ+, AK) from an EP early in a tournament.

Player B - 14/10 over 250 hands. His opening range is a little looser than Player A's, but still reasonably tight.

Player C - 37/25 over 145 hands. This player has the look of a maniac. You're not really sure what his opening is, but it is a lot looser than both Player A and Player B.

What is the best raise size against each player?

I don't play DONs, but I thought I'd give this a go:

A: I'd make it 250 to go against this player. If he is really tight he will probably shove over only with KK and AA and fold everything else, but we want to give him the chance to make a mistake by calling with the other hands.

B: Probably the same as A, not sure if I want to scare him off.

C: In a regular SNG I sometimes shove over this guy, because he'll convince himself that we have AK and he has the right end of a flip with his small pocket pair. If I'm not shoving over I tend to raise a little more because he might make a horrible mistake and call with his QJs, and it doesn't matter whether we raise 250 or 350, he's doing the same anyway.
