The pre-flop sizing varies by position. I raise more when I’m in early position than when I’m in late position, because my range is stronger. This is an idea I explain in greater detail in this article.

Hi guys. I’m sorry to say there’s not a lot of fancy psychology behind it. Just a little OCD on my part plus, as Jeremy guessed, a desire to type bet amounts more quickly when multi-tabling. I will say that choosing “weird” bet amounts makes it a little easier to conceal the times when I’m varying my bet size based on the strength of my hand in some potentially exploitable way.

I’m with you on that Russ -> I am also interested to know the reasoning behind the odd numbers. I think Andrew might have bet the 111 and 666 for the purpose of multi tabling because it is quicker to type the same number 3 times.

Also, your value bets are all basically 70% of pot in this hand, but you are taking the time to be creative with odd numbers.
I know there are psycological effects at work with some numbers, which is why items in a store are $1.99 versus $2.00. Any of that at play here?
