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?

Ah, I see. I am in the SB or BB?

It depends, but usually for a standard raise (3-4bb) I am raising between 3-4 times the original raise (I.e. if he opens to 14 I reraise to 44-48, if he opens to 15 I am reraising from 48-52, 16 is usually like 50-54, something like that.
