you want to be raising pre antes at 3x the bb, as we get to the middle stage of the tourney with small antes make it 2.5x and as we move later we can go 2-2.1x.
Usually if someone has limped before then you make it x(depending on the stage of the tourney)+1x for every limper. For example if its pre antes and you're btn with two limpers already we can make it 5x.
yes, betting too much is not needed due to many reasons and you will find more success with betting smaller in your cbets. Although if you have a monster and think you can get called on larger bets its better to go larger, then again its vil dependent.
