Open Raise 10BB?

And, like I said, the main problem isn´t with the callers of your big bet, it´s the raiser who bumps it up to 1/4 of your stack, but still giving you pot odds to call. It´s wrong to fold, but now that 1/4 your stack is in, it´ll be a lot harder to get away from. Basically, you´re variance just goes way up now. Isn´t it much better to minimize variance, and maximize the times when you are a huge favorite? Basically, playing smart more, taking less risk?

Sure, it's better to do that but you aren't in control. You do have opponents that you have to take into account and make your decisions based on those factors. Are you always going to fold decent hands because you aren't getting exactly the right odds? When you have a capped buy game you have to play with the stack you have and adjust your style of play to suit that because many of the players you will be up against aren't playing optimal style poker to begin with.
