2) I don't know what you mean by "vs button steal", but no, I will raise generally 3.5xbb+1 as i said before. Sometimes, if there are a lot of limpers or something, I may either A) limp behind or B) raise like 1bb less than the rule or something like so that I don't create an absolutely massive pot. Usually I just stick with the rule though.

To clarify the button raise, say it's folded around to the button who opens for a 4XBB raise (button steal like above). Are you raising 3 or 4 times the original raise, or some other amount?
