I've played minimally at 80-160 and 100-200. You might be correct for So. Calif., especially Commerce. I would suspect not for Las Vegas, but hopefully others can chime in here, and for online too. Regardless, I think when you lose you lose more with the two players behind you, so when we say we win 56.21% (or whatever) of the time, I think we lose more $ with the two behind than we do, proportionately, when our raise buys us position. That, I would think, is especially true as you move up and the players are trickier and more aggressive, especially with position on the turn and river.
