Open Raise
开牌加注
An open raise is the first aggressive action in a hand when no player has yet entered the pot. The size of an open raise typically ranges from 2-4 big blinds. Optimal open sizing depends on position, stack depth, and player pool tendencies.
Example
A standard open raise from the button is 2.5-3bb, while from UTG it is typically 3-4bb.
