Re: Slansky- Preflop raises should differ based on the hand
[ QUOTE ]
Edit: I think raising larger in early position and smaller in late position would make more sense. Of course, you'll almost never steal the blinds with a 2.5xBB open from the button, but you'll be playing a pot in position against a wider (read: weaker) range than with a 4xBB open. When in early position, your 5xBB open charges people to play pots in position against you.

Well, I think the raise less in LP ONLY makes sense from the button. from LP, if you make a smaller raise, you'll be less likely to get the button and have position postflop. If you're 1-3 off the button, and are an aggressive player, everyone behind you knows that your openning range is large. With a small raise, people behind you, or the player on the button will be much more likely to call and/or play back at you. Since your openning range will be wide from LP, you certainly don't want that.
