4xBB + 1BB/limper seems to be the standard for PF Raising.

I always raise to 6xBB at the $50 NL Party tables for a couple of reasons:

1) I take down more pots on the flop with (larger) continuation bets.

2) There are always loose players who will call 6xBB because they want to "catch a hand" against my "monster".

So, if you can, on average, be going into the flop with both a) more money in the pot and b) callers whose hands are of equivalent value, why not raise this much knowing that you can outplay them postflop?

Any comments...
