It's like a race to throw nicks and dimes away.

Why do you want no callers? Are you on a bluff? Can you not play post flop? What position are you in? How much is already in the pot? There are way too many variables here to get a decent answer.

I like to see flops so it saves me .5 to 1 bb each time I raise.

The amount you raise preflop (at any level) depends on so many factors, it should never be the same amount all the time? I might raise 4-5x the BB in 1st or 2nd position if I dont want alot of callers, but with the exact same hand on the button, I might only minimum raise, or even flat call. Knowing the players your playing against, if you know some 1 is probably going to re-raise your raise (very aggressive nutter) you might want to make a 3xBB raise then re-raise their re-raise all in etc. Impossible to answer this poll.

I tend to do the opposite here. Since an early position raise shows strength, a small raise will usually do the trick. In late position, a smaller raise will give all the limpers good odds to call with about anything. I usually like to bet around the size of the pot preflop on the button to find out where I am at and either win the pot right there or get it down to heads up.

Since an early position raise shows strength, a small raise will usually do the trick. but the problem is, we're talking about micros, and a lot of micro players don't undertstand the importance of position or trying to read other people's hands.
