Default Theory: preflop 3x the BB raise from the Button
I don't have time to write out all my musings about this, but I saw Carrotsnake and MyNamIsGregz doing this in their videos and I don't really get it.

They said that they made smaller raises from the button because it had just as much FE as a larger bet. But when I think about it, assuming that the Villain calls and folds equally regardless of my bet size, I'd rather bloat the pot when I have the button and am in position. The reason being that the avg pot size will be larger by the river where I can get more $$$ with thin value bets and what not.

Any thoughts?
