lol at them all you want. It appears they're right if that's what they're arguing.

Why raise more than you need to?

I'm actually wondering if 2.5x BB in these situations is slightly too much and I may lower my standard raise to around 2.3x BB.

Long term, it matters.

a lot of the situations where one would argue that the appropriate play is 2.5xbb does so because, in my opinion, too much below 2.5x approaches the minraise, and the minraise allows many villsin to play back at us with hands that cant stand a raise and enter into a whole new level of ambiguity and do not hold ground ingame...usually 2.5x is my cuttoff minimum without a read or at a tight table specifically when the situation warrants.

It probably doesn't matter at all if you play good anyway.
