is this a better way than 3bb from all positions

and I probably am answering my own question here if it is better or more advanced is it a useful tell that villain is a thinking or advanced player if he uses it at 10nl

p s I liked the way the mouse highlighted table with action it was easier to follow

Hi seacat,

Yes, I believe those open raises are better at 10nl FR.

First, your UTG range is stronger and you don't want to give great prices to multiway pots so we open larger. You can even make it 4x.

Second, on the BTN, we steal a lot (and I steal a lot more than your average 10nl reg). So a smaller steal, 2x or 2.5x gives us a better price and allows us to steal more hands.

thanks i will try to add that to my game

and can you check my homework 5 1 post back

The homework looks good,

For the last question I wouldn't raise to "keep him in line" as that's not really a reason behind betting.

We can raise for value for example which would have a side effect of potentially keeping him in line (because really you can't control that and you won't really know if he will actually be in line or not).
