Just think it works out better and makes post spots a little easier per se. If pot is say 7k here by making it 2k, villians cbet size may be smaller so our decision is slightly easier. Our spr is higher when we min open- just makes things easier and less murky.
So you're thinking, if I opened w/ 2k. A shove would be the right move or a call?
I do totally understand your viewpoint about the open amount. My argument against it is...
- With a big blind ante, I feel like you're never going to steal blinds with this 2x sizing. BB just has way too much pot odds to not call.
- A lot of pots were going multi-way and I just don't mind sizing up a little to try and avoid that. (obviously didn't work in this instance). - This is something I try and do especially in live tournaments, size for what I think will get 1 caller, based on the previous action, but also never putting in more than about 10% of my stack...
I will think about this open sizing some more and try to refine my strategy.
