How can I act with monster hands at the pre flop?

[dipstick2]

some good points,but like they say bet it see who comes too

[capnjim]

play a min bet hope for a all in if not look at flop then play with what you see

[NIGTHMARE646]

riseee and re raisee too

[IoInterista]

It depends on other players at the table, tourney stage (if it is bubble or begginning of the tourney...). But generally, I play it eiher PF 5-bet or all in

[NIGTHMARE646]

you have to play it very aggressive to scare the hands low and you can win on the flop luck

[crypiter]

Depends on your position and number of players at the table. at a full 9 handed table first 2 positions generally min bet, other positions 3-4x bet... but its situational

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but why would you bet lighter out of position and heavier in position? Shouldn't this be the other way around? To answer the original question I think you should make a 2.5-4xBB bet if opening. If there is already a raise then 3 bet. You want to be able to get as much value as you can out of the hand without betting too light which gives your opponent a chance catch up.

5 bet? If there is a raise, re-raise, and then another re-raise I'm folding everything but AA (maybe KK if playing with a bunch of nits) which I probably won't have since someone else most likely has AA or KK too with this much action ahead of me.

I would raise it 5x just because that would get everybody else to fold. The ones who call u more than likely has Pocket Pair also and just hope and pray u don't get sucked out

[superstar912]

Yeah it really just depends on your position and where in the tournament you are at. Also depends on the cards you've showed down in the game because the other plays will have a range for you and know you have something if you always bet it big.

I like to act monstrously against idiots, trappy against better players, and of course stack sizes dictate my actions before I ever look at the cards anyway.
