Default Re: Open Raise 10BB?

[ QUOTE ]
So, my question is... WHY?? Why is 10xBB raise standard... and how can it be right/good?

[/ QUOTE ]

People are willing to call that size raise from time to time with weak hands. If you hold the better hand (however you might want to define it) and they are willing to call a 15x raise why wouldn't you want to put in the big raise?
