maximizing profits

it's important to want to sacrifice more chips on hands your pretty sure your the favorite ... and it's logical to want to sacrifice less chips on hands your unsure of... so ideally you would want to raise the blinds just a little more than your comfortable with especiallly in position.... remember people want to see a flop... so get as mych as you can outtta them pre flop.. instead of a say... standsard 3x big blind raise do say 4 1/2 times the big blind...plus this let's your opponent know you mean business.... and you definately want to win more chips when you win then when you lose ... that's the idea.... last but not least . in a tournament when i'm first to act after the flop and i catch high pair i bet. knowing that my opponent should know that i'm only supposed to hit the flop 1 outta 2 times .. so if you bet first your more probably going to get a check raise by somebody who thinks your bluffing... and then you trap em... good luck scottdogg
