Your raise is way to big! 2,5 BB is enough here. When raising this big I am calling with this hand and the good odds.
Having raised smaller a fold is still possible, however, I call here without tight reads as I see some worse Ax hands in his range.


in sng strategy it says i must raise 4xbb but many times on the forum ppl are telling me to raise different amounts, wat should i do?

Most people will raise 3bb + 1per limper and then when the blinds are a bit higher/during middle phase 2.5BB + 1 per limper... Personally I raise 4bb +1 per limper at the first limit only 10/20... For an absolute beginner raising 4/5 BB is often advised because it scares away a lotta opponents... it's up to you though...


I raise 4BB when the stacks are deeper than 30 or 35BB, 3BB when they are between 20 and 30 BB and 2,5BB if they are even smaller.
There can be some variation depending to your style but this should be good sizes for an orientation.
