Default Re: The 2.5x BB raise - why??

It's not so much mathematical as psychological. As the blinds get high, a 2.5 BB raise will most likely give you the same amount of fold equity while it reduces your loss when someone over pushes. It also works well for pot control reasons if you do get called.
