Re: Standard raises not working
He gave away a lot with his comment ("Don't count on me to make solid math plays later. Steal from my short stack, please.").
A good standard is 3+X times the BB where X is the number of limpers. This keeps your opponents from getting decent preflop pot odds with speculative hands -- in other words, you'll play the pot 2- or 3-handed if it's not folded around.
Your raise is fine. Don't let crackhead table talkers knock you off your game.
