When raising 3 x BB like most people i have seen some raise near to it but not fully. Eg. 300 is BB. (600 is the generic bet).

So 550 would have the same effect i guess? And in the long run would save you a fair amount of chips.

I'm assuming you're talking tournaments.

Once the blinds and antes go up, raising 2.5x is much better. People tighten up when they go deep and you save money when you are raised. Minraising can work at some tables, but for the most part no-one will give you credit and therefore reraise you light.

Minraising is allright headsup or on the CO/BTN since you have position also.

OP raising to 3xbb is very common but that means didly squat.

always think of what you are trying to achieve? with your actions and what course of action is most likely to achieve your goal? ... then act accordingly... rinse and repeat for every decision you ever make when playing poker... or life for that matter.
