Standard. Never fold this.

So by that logic, why wouldn't you bet more no matter what position you're in?

Because you're at a disadvantage OOP on the flop and beyond, whereas in position you are actually at an advantage.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, but you don't want to play bigger pots OOP. In position it's even better to 3-bet higher. Meh, this discussion is kind of silly because $4 here is actually a decent amount and I'm kind of arguing over 2-4bb more.

... Which furthers the argument for betting MORE in position? This logic sounds ass backwards; you're at a disadvantage OOP, so you want to invest MORE money and bloat the pot further more so on ensuing streets you're offered irresistable odds and can't get away from the pot without having a good idea of where you stand because you're OOP? But in position you want to bet less? Both sound foolish and I've yet to see any logic behind this common stance. Indulge me.

And why is it even assumed that adding a BB -- how much are you supposed to be adding, anyway? -- to a raise/3bet OOP gets you more fold equity? What's the math for this?

You're right, that doesn't really makes sense now that I think about it. I just knew it was the "common wisdom" and was trying to defend it. Anyone else? Help!
